Jeesh do I feel stupid! I was not in root. I can run modprobe but get
the following:
paride: version 1.04 installed
pcd: pcd version 1.07, major 46, nice 0
pcd0: Autoprobe failed
pcd: No CD-ROM drive found
/lib modules/2.2.6/misc/pcd.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hmmm, what device or resource would be busy? And how do I get it to take
a break? :-)
