Bug#351668: udev doesn't even load parport_pc here
Hello,
okay, I can understand the issue with "lp", how should udev easily know
that I have a printer and want to print, so it makes some sense that CUPS
takes care of that.
But udev 0.093-1 doesn't even load "parport_pc" here. I am pretty sure it
did so in earlier versions, cause I did not have it in /etc/modules. On a
Toshiba laptop from a customer it does, but here on my IBM ThinkPad T23
(see below) it does not.
Is this related to
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
udev (0.076-3) unstable; urgency=high
[...]
* Removed the PNP aliases for parport_pc, which now are provided by the
kernel driver.

?
Or is it this issue
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- some modules, like the drivers for some ISA PNP devices, lack the
sysfs data needed to be automatically loaded and must be loaded
manually.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
? Then I don't understand why it apparently worked before. I don't know
the exact udev version where this stopped working, but I am pretty sure
that it stopped working quite some while after the udev+hotplug merger.
This is an IBM ThinkPad T23:
