You installed a new system, but did you keep the old /etc/conf.modules?
You need an entry in that file.
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
The above works in conjuntion with the program "kmod" or kerneld, that
depends on which kernel you are using.
You then issue modprobe ppa
then all the modules should get loaded in the proper order.
Yesterday i mentioned this very problem, your error messages are caused
becaue you are trying to load a module when it cant find its brothers, in
this case;
parport_pc
parport
then ppa gets loaded.
Check that you have all the modules in the modules directory(s).

It will still work, if you have all the modules neded and the proper entry
in /etc/conf.modules
O yes, a short note here about conf.modules and modules.conf they are the
same file but as of modutils 2.3.6 needed for 2.3.xx kernels its called
modules.conf, yes confusing ..

Make sure "kmod" is defined in your kernel.
