The better thing to do (which won't have to be redone with every
kernel upgrade) is to put an alias in your /etc/conf.modules for the
parport_lowlevel driver, like so:
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
Unfortunately, I've not had much luck with this at all. Instead, I
have
post-install parport modprobe "-k" "-s" "parport_pc"
This seems to work significantly better. It's the same trick I use to
get the 2.1.x modularized sound driver working properly; I don't know
if there's a better way.
