The ppa module depends upon some other modules. "depmod -a" remakes the
list of dependencies and is run on boot - you should never have to run it
manually on Debian. The list is in /lib/modules/2.1.131/modules.dep (in my
case):
/lib/modules/2.1.131/scsi/ppa.o: /lib/modules/2.1.131/scsi/scsi_mod.o
/lib/modules/2.1.131/misc/parport.o
insmod doesn't check dependencies - use "modprobe ppa" instead as this will
load the other modules.
Use the kerneld to automatically load modules - put "auto" in /etc/modules.
Finally you can specify paramters in /etc/conf.modules:
alias scsi_hostadapter ppa
alias block-major-8 ppa
alias block-major-8 sd_mod
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
