I had a similar problem when I compiled the 2.0.36 kernel on SuSE6.0. I got a
"char-major-6" not found. That was because I compiled the printer support
directly into the kernel while the kernel expected the printer support to be
compiled as a module /in fact in /etc/conf.modules there is a "char-major-6
lp" line). When I compiled the printer support as a module I could print again.
This might apply to your case because I had a look at /lib/modules/2.2-pre7 and
I found out this lines in the modules.dep:
/lib/modules/2.2.0-pre7/misc/lp.o: /lib/modules/2.2.0-pre7/misc/parport.o
Hope this help
