Hm, I compiled parallel port support as a module. I already had 

options parport_pc io=0x3bc irq=7 

in my /etc/modutils/options, so I appended "dma=3" to give

options parport_pc io=0x3bc irq=7 dma=3

Now I can modprobe parport_pc, but when I try to modprobe imm I get:

17:52:05<~>$ sudo modprobe imm
/lib/modules/2.2.17/scsi/imm.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.2.17/scsi/imm.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17/scsi/imm.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.17/scsi/imm.o: insmod imm failed
17:52:09<~>$ 

I don't  see any imm  options in my  /etc/modutils. How do I  find out
what parameters  the imm  module takes? Does  it need  any parameters?
What's going on? -chris
