It does for me... i used the wrong language -- there's a bug in the linus (not alan) kernel makefile. the parport build problem is dependent on some set of conditions. i don't know what they are, but they're undoubtedly posted to the linux-kernel mailing list. so it's not parport.c itself. i've compiled 3 kernels on 2.4.12, and all of them bugged out on parport. btw, i've heard that kernel source and binaries that distros use are almost exclusively alan cox kernels... pete
