You have to specify io port and irq manually, this is
intended as irq may be assigned to another hardware as
required when you dont need plip.

Let's do

modprobe parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7

for example

The parport_pc will detect io port and irq but it
doesn't set using this irq, you should set it.
