It may be active already if compiled already in the kernel. This is on at boot time. Check out with dmesg, and see what is occu- pying what. This is my output: bish@aedes:~$ dmesg | grep parport parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2] lp0: using parport0 (polling). bish@aedes:~$ Possible that parport0 is already being used by your printer or some other device. > > [root@localhost dev]# MAKEDEV parport > MAKEDEV: error making /dev/parport0: File exists > Possible, because something is occupying 99,0 and mknod is not able to proceed further. MAKEDEV is merely a shell front- end for mknod, providing the correct major and minor numbers. Pl note: there is "error in making /dev/parport0" ... this is ensuing failure at creation, even if file does not exist.
