parport as module fails probe

[Brian Servis <servis@purdue.edu>]

I just built a 2.2.10 kernel and decided to move the parport support
out as modules. I don't have any strange setup or share devices.  Now
when the modules load it fails to complete the IEEE 1284 probe.  When
the parport support was compiled in I had no problems.

Now:(as module)
Jun 17 11:11:11 brian kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2] 
Jun 17 11:11:11 brian kernel: parport0: unable to get hardware to register IEEE 1284 probe. 
Jun 17 11:11:11 brian kernel: parport0: unable to register for probe. 
Jun 17 11:11:11 brian kernel: parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present. 
Jun 17 11:11:12 brian kernel: parport0: unable to get hardware to register lp. 
Jun 17 11:11:12 brian kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found 

Before:(compiled in)
Jun  7 07:54:05 brian kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2] 
Jun  7 07:54:05 brian kernel: parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven operation. 
Jun  7 07:54:05 brian kernel: parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 660C 
Jun  7 07:54:05 brian kernel: lp0: using parport0 (polling). 


I have in my /etc/conf.modules

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7

I don't mind having the parport compiled in but I was just trying to
trim down the components that don't get used on a regular basis.

Anybody have any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks,
