parport claims ioports ftape wants to access as well.
Several people have reported problems regarding the interaction between ftape and
parport, parport_pc. So I would recommend unloading parport_pc and parport before
trying to load ftape, zftape and bpck-fdc. If this unloading fails it may be
necessary to remove lp as well:
modprobe -r lp
modprobe -r parport_pc
modprobe -r parport
and now ftape...

no, I wouldn't say so. Those irq lines are not always claimed the whole time.

yes, a collision between ftape and parport. Parport has to removed, so that
ftape/zftape/bpck-fdc can work correctly.
Ok - let's see what the next problems are....
Good luck,
