Strange.
I had noticed after I installed the new kernel, that my boot process
was hanging for a few seconds near a line that said insmod parport
was failing.
I tried modconf, to try to remove that module, but modconf was not on
my system. I thought it had been. I reinstalled it, and tried to
remove the parport module, but it refused, saying it was in use.
After reading this, I first verified that kernel-modules-2.4.22-powerpc
was not installed. Then I installed it; it went through the process,
but said it was downloading 0 bytes. After it was finished, I
re-checked with dpkg -s and it was _still_ not installed.
What's going on here?
