Hi Andre,
(1) Yesterday, I recompiled my 2.2.1 kernel with support (modules) for:
o parallel ide device support.
o parallel port ide disk (pd driver)
o shuttle epat/epez support (epat protocol)
I ran the mkd script and then this is what I got:
#insmod paride
paride: version 1.04 installed
#insmod epat
paride: epat registered as protocol 0
#insmod pd
pd: pd version 1.05, major 45, cluster 64, nice 0
pda: autoprobe failed
pd: no valid drive found
/lib/modules/2.2.1/misc/pd.0: init_module: Device or resource busy
(2) Then I decided to recompile my kernel for some other reasons
and now 'insmod paride' gives me a few lines of errors
(unfortunately I cannot access my linux box now and give you the
exact error msgs but they seemed to relate to parport_)
#modprobe paride (seems to be fine)
#modprobe epat (seems to be fine)
#modprobe pd
/lib/modules/2.2.1/misc/pd.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
paride: Device or resource busy
Here is my /lib/modules/2.2.1/modules.dep file as an attachment:
It sounds like whatever the situation is I end up getting 'Device
or resource busy'.
note: the ezflyer is connected to the parallel port and I have a
passthru cable to connect my printer from the ezflyer.
Any clue?
Ciao

Sure... pls. read:
http://www.torque.net/parport/paride.html
some notes:
1. Get the latest kernel 2.0.36 or 2.2.x series. The support Syquest
parallel port device is there. If you have a kernel 2.0.35 or lower, you
have to patch the kernel first. So I suggest that you just get a new
kernel.
2. Recompile the kernel and add support for:
- parallel ide device support.
- parallel port ide disk (pd driver)
- shuttle epat/epez support (epat protocol)
As much as possible, compile the above as modules.
3. Run the script mkd (the script is in the URL above.) to make a pda
device in /dev. You will use this to mount your syquest drive.
4. run the commands :
insmod paride
insmod epat
insmod pd
5. mount -t <filesystem> /dev/pda1 /mnt
