parport-securebits etc

As reported in some previous emails, I have been having
problems with parport and, more particularly, unresolved
symbols: securebits, compute_creds.

As reported on the list, patches have been put forward on the
list for the securebits/compute_creds problem: Essentially
adding
EXPORT_SYMBOL(compute_creds); EXPORT_SYMBOL(securebits); to kernel/ksyms.c

However, this patch does __not__ work (for me at least).
This is after patching a (patched) 2.1.92 kernel and also
working with virgin source this afternoon and patching ksyms.c again. (Just
in case the patched 2.1.92 had some errors in it or differed
somehow from the unpatched file).

My questions (1) Is there anyone out there who has had sucess
with resolving securebits/compute_creds? (The problem has often been
raised. Success anyone?) (2) Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike Field
