: When I load the modules (using ./modules/insert) fdc-parport
: cant find my Iomega DittoMax paralell tape drive.

: I get the folowing log:

: I had it running fine under 2.0.36 with ftape 4.03-pre-2.

: Sounds like an interrupt problem?
Yes, you have to tell parport about the interrupt. The easiest way is
to specify an option to parport_pc in /etc/conf.modules (assuming you
use a modularized kernel):
option parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
