Jochen,
Thank you for your kind advice.
I had given up for the time being, actually :) ...

These are the relevant setting from /usr/src/linux/.config
I had been advised not to enable PNP, in general. I guess
I need to, in order to use Ftape with Trakker. Will get
to that now.
CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
# CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER is not set
# Plug and Play support
#
# CONFIG_PNP is not set

"make clean" yes, but not distclean.
If enabling PNP doesn't change things, I will try again
using "make distclean".

yes.
Will try again with PNP enabled, distclean, etc.
Thanks for the tip!
