Hello,

After upgrading the kernel (2.2.9-19 --> 2.2.11-2 from "cooker") the
printer modules are not loaded correctly during booting. The following
entries are in /etc/modules.conf:

alias eth0 3c59x
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias sound sb
pre-install sound insmod sound dmabuf=1
alias midi opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 

Ethernet and sound are ok, if I do an "lsmod" after startup I get:

Module                  Size  Used by
nfsd                  146236   1  (autoclean)

sound                  64504   0  [opl3 sb uart401]
soundlow                 300   0  [sound]
soundcore               2628   6  [sb sound]                  

I have to enter manually (thanks to bero for this tip!):

modprobe parport
modprobe parport_pc
modprobe lp

and restart lpd (lpd is started during bootup) and printing works.

"lsmod" shows now:

Module                  Size  Used by
lp                      4988   0  (unused)
parport_pc              5940   1
parport                 7316   1  [lp parport_pc]
nfsd                  146236   1  (autoclean)
lockd                  32712   1  (autoclean) [nfsd]
sunrpc                 55812   1  (autoclean) [nfsd lockd] 

etc...

The strange thing is, with kernel 2.2.9 it worked! I have also updated
the initscripts and I wonder what´s wrong. Would be grateful for any
hints to get my printer working automatically again!

Thanks and bye,

Willy
