OK, I'm confused, but it works now. I checked the file, and it was correct as you specifed.
After booting, but before running emc, lsmod indicated that parport_pc was not loaded but parport was loaded, and that modules lp and ppdev depended on it. I checked, and the problem still happened. During and after runninf emc, lsmod still showed the same modules: no parport_pc, but parport loaded, and depended on by lp and ppdev. I rebooted again (this is the third time since I did the upgrade to 2.4) and checked lsmod. Still the same: no parport_pc, but parport is loaded with dependencies lp and ppdev. I tried emc again, and now it works. While emc is running, lsmod indicates the following: n...@tardis:~$ lsmod | grep parport parport 33224 3 hal_ppmc,ppdev,lp When I quit emc, the hal_ppmc dependency goes away, but the others remain. That's how it should be, right? So I guess somehow you were barking up the right tree. Editing the modprobe file must have fixed the problem, but it required an extra reboot for some reason.
