I received the same problem when compiling paralell printer support as
a module, and parport as a module. as a fix, I also included PNP support, and
made the following patch. Someone else also made the same patch, and it works
the same for us. give it a shot, and tell what you get (BTW, as with him, this
is my first patch posted to the list, even though it's a small one, so I feel
happy about finally helping out! :) )!
