I think you need one more module : lp, you maybe forgot it while konfiguring th ekernel before compilation, you checked these: parallel port support & pc-style hardware in section General Setup, but in section Character devices is also parallel printer support!!!
I have compiled these into kernel directly and into lilo.conf have placed append "lp=0x378,7" and it works fine (0x378 is i/o port of my parallel port and 7 is its irq)
so try it, bye
