: Hello I am running Redhat 5.2 with kernel 2.2.5 and ftape-4.03-pre-3
: 28/03/99 and
: ftape tools ver 1.07.3. Am am trying to get a parallel Colorado Trakker
: 250 to work. I am able to load the ftape modules no problem ... however
: in /var/log/messages I get something that looks like this:
:

I would guess, that you haven't installed the parport lowlevel driver.
You need to configure "PC-style hardware" (CONFIG_PARPORT_PC) and add
something like
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
to your /etc/conf.modules, see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/parport.txt
for more info.
