[Devil-Linux-discuss] "parport" Replacement Module

[Bradlee L. <bra...@gm...>]

I'm looking to upgrade to 1.4RC1, and found that "parport" is no
longer a module in the kernel. I can't seem to get lcd4linux to run,
because /dev/parport/0 doesn't exist, and the since the previous
module "parport" is not in the kernel, what do I need to use instead?

Am I supposed to use /etc/modprobe.conf instead of /etc/modules/? It
looks to be the right file...

I'm having to do this, because one of our new servers ethernet modules
needs the "e1000e" module, as the previous just needed "e1000". If
there was a way to get the e1000e module into 1.2.15 without having to
remake the ISO, that would be easier even though I'd prefer to move to
1.4.

Thanks for the help,
Brad Landis
