Description Geordon Marchak 2004-04-28 20:46:15 UTC 
I added parport, parport_pc in as modules.  When insmodding them I got the 
following error reports:

# insmod parport
Using /lib/modules/2.4.25-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/parport/parport.o
/lib/modules/2.4.25-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/parport/parport.o:

Comment 2 Geordon Marchak 2004-04-28 22:02:26 UTC 
The processor is an XP-2500, but if I compile as a 686 rather than Athlon this
problem goes away.
Comment 3 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-21 13:12:22 UTC 
Should be fixed in latest 2.4 kernel release.
