Mine works, under kernels v2.2.x. I have the following in /etc/modutiles/aliases: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc and the (tightly-edited) output of lsmod is: Module Size Used by parport_pc 5484 1 (autoclean) lp 4840 0 (unused) parport 6612 1 [parport_pc lp] The way parallel port modules are organised has changed with kernels 2.2.x away from a monolithic, PC-specific module to allow for a more uniform approach to dealing with non-PC and non-standard parallel ports. That's why I have the alias, to associate the generic hardware-level driver name with the particular driver required for the PC parallel port. If you edit files in /etc/modutils, run update-modules as root to ensure that your changes take effect.
