Hello,
i think it got it nailed, please try the attached patch (it is against
11-pre4, but it should work against all test11).
Explanation:
with test7-pre6 in the imm-module the new scsi - code was enabled (see
imm.h).
This causes the locking of the io_request_lock in scsi_register_host
(scsi.c) during detection of the ZIP drive. Seems, that the request_module
call for the parport_pc doesn't like this.
The patch does, what the comment in scsi.c suggests: Enable the new code
only, after the drive is detected.
Have a nice day
Gert
