: Thanks for the input. This has provided a huge insight. I updated my
: conf.modules file to specify the address and irq for the parallel port.
: After I insmod bpck-fdc, dmesg shows the following:
:
: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP]
: parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present.
: bpck-fdc.c: bpck_fdc_register @ 0xc28cfc08
: [002] fdc-io.c (fdc_register) - Probing for bpck-fdc tape drive slot 0.
: [003] 0 fdc-parport.h (ft_parport_probe) - dev: c12a1840.
: [004] 0 fdc-parport.h (ft_parport_probe) - irq: -1.
: [005] 0 fdc-parport.h (ft_parport_probe) - port: 378.
: [006] 0 fdc-parport.h (ft_parport_probe) - can't find parport interface for
: ftape id 0.
: [007] 0 bpck-fdc.c (bpck_fdc_detect) - can't find bpck interface for ftape id
: 0.
: [008] 0 bpck-fdc.c (bpck_fdc_detect) - ft_parport_probe(fdc, &bpck->parinfo)
: failed: -6.

: It would seem that the IRQ option that I've specified in the conf.modules
: file didn't make it. Any thoughts on how/why this might happen?
You have to tell parport about the IRQ. Add to /etc/conf.modules:
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
