Anyone know how to see who is using parport_pc?

What does "lsmod | grep parport" show?

# lsmod | grep parport
parport_serial         24576  0
parport_pc             40960  2 parport_serial
parport                69632  3 parport_pc,lp,ppdev

Ok, try dismantling the stack, starting with "parport_serial".
If you "modprobe -r parport_serial", it might remove "parport_pc" as well if that's all that's holding it.  There are a lot of modules involved, but I assume the _pc one is the actual hardware interface.

Tried that already.  When I got to "parport_serial" my
machine crashed.  I could move windows by their decoration,
but nothing else, including <ctrl><alt><f2>

That's a very strange crash.  But if you can't remove that module, then you have a serious problem.  See what happens with the new card.

The new card is a Lava card made to industrial standards:

I should see it in a few days.

And it IS NOT cheap.  You do pay for what you get.

:-)

Thank you for all the help with this!

I will get back with results!
