That's not a good sign.  A hunch tells me it might be an interrupt
conflict or I/O problem.  Does your BIOS let you enable and disable
the parallel port?  If so, is it enabled?  Does the BIOS have
interrupt and/or I/O settings for it?

You may need to load the parport_pc module with:

  insmod parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7

(Assuming your parallel port is using the IO port at 0x378 and
IRQ 7.  More info at, including a description of the
/proc/sys/dev/parport tree at :
http://dan.drydog.com/docs/redhat/kernel-doc-2.4.18/parport.txt )

Also, what is the output of "cat /proc/interrupts" and
"cat /proc/ioports" both before and after loading the modules.
