I tested for the hal_parport "device or resource busy" problem but was unable to reproduce it.
I tested on a debian 7 system recently installed from the hybrid.iso. I tested at a master branch revision which describes as "v2.6.3-659-gce43af0" (today's master branch) using a standalone test script in the file pp.hal loadrt hal_parport cfg=0 loadrt threads period1=1000000 loadrt not net x not.0.out => not.0.in parport.0.pin-01-out addf not.0 thread1 addf parport.0.write thread1 start which I ran multiple times in succession with halrun pp.hal I did not receive any errors in the terminal or in dmesg. On my system, the "install parport_pc /bin/true" line is commented out in /etc/modprobe.d/linuxcnc.conf, so hal_parport is working in cooperatin with the linux parallel port driver. My parallel port is on a PCI card. If you can, please test with the standalone hal script (modifying cfg= if necessary) to see whether that produces the problem for you. But the most basic explanation (that I completely botched the unregistration process for rtai when adding uspace) seems to be discounted at this point.
