This indicates that parport (and possibly slip support) is not statically compiled in your kernel). Please check if this has been loaded as a module by the init scripts. # lsmod If not, load it (with root privileges): a) Find the path for parport ... # locate parport.o b) Then load it: # insmod /full/path/to/parport.o c) Recheck ... # lsmod | grep parport That should do the trick. Other alternative is to recompile the kernel with serial port support compiled static, to have dmesg boot up entries.
