Hi, I too have been able to set up my RH7.3 box to successfully mount an external parallel zip 250 by loading the modules parport_pc and imm (in that order).
The only problem I still have with this is that when I reboot my computer I have to load the modules again. I have received some suggestions but I would like more info on this and some feedback as to which method is preferred. One method would be to add the modules to /etc/modules.conf, this file currently contains: [M8ram@localhost M8ram]$ cat /etc/modules.conf alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 8139too alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1 post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias usb-controller usb-uhci So I guess I would only have to add the line 'alias imm'? But if this is so why isn't the module parport_pc already loaded? The other method would be to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local which at the moment contains: [M8ram@localhost M8ram]$ cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local #!/bin/sh # # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff. touch /var/lock/subsys/local What is the difference between these two methods? Are there other options? Which is the preferred method?
