Something is wrong with your kernel modules. lsmod reports that module paraport_pc is used by no other modules, then it reports that parport actually *is* using paraport_pc (and lp).
On my x86_64 machine:
parport_pc 44912 1 lp 14336 0 parport 43532 2 parport_pc,lp
Not knowing how to reload the kernel and all its modules with a reboot, I'll suggest a reboot here.

I rebooted. I've included the output. Btw, I did go into fstsb and delete that line. I can put it back if you want. -Joe Password: linux:/home/joegum # lsmod Module Size Used by ipt_pkttype 1664 1 ipt_LOG 6912 7 ipt_limit 2304 7 hfsplus 75140 0 vfat 12800 0 fat 49692 1 vfat subfs 7552 2 speedstep_lib 4228 0 freq_table 4612 0 snd_pcm_oss 59168 0 snd_mixer_oss 18944 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 51984 0 snd_seq_device 8588 1 snd_seq button 7056 0 battery 10244 0 ac 5252 0 af_packet 21384 2 edd 9824 0 joydev 9408 0 ip6t_REJECT 5504 3 ipt_REJECT 5632 3 ipt_state 1920 12 usblp 12544 0 iptable_mangle 2688 0 iptable_nat 22228 0 pcmcia 37176 0 firmware_class 9856 1 pcmcia iptable_filter 2816 1 ip6table_mangle 2304 0 ip_conntrack 42168 2 ipt_state,iptable_nat ip_tables 19456 8 ipt_pkttype,ipt_LOG,ipt_limit,ipt_REJECT,ipt_state,iptable_mangle,iptable_nat,iptable_filter ip6table_filter 2688 1 ip6_tables 18176 3 ip6t_REJECT,ip6table_mangle,ip6table_filter ehci_hcd 32136 0 ipv6 242752 11 ip6t_REJECT 8139too 26112 0 snd_intel8x0 33504 1 ohci_hcd 20228 0 usbcore 112512 4 usblp,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd ohci1394 32820 0 ieee1394 97208 1 ohci1394 yenta_socket 23820 1 rsrc_nonstatic 12800 1 yenta_socket pcmcia_core 39952 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic mii 5504 1 8139too snd_ac97_codec 91004 1 snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_bus 2432 1 snd_ac97_codec i2c_sis96x 5380 0 i2c_core 20368 1 i2c_sis96x generic 4484 0 [permanent] snd_pcm 93064 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec sis_agp 8452 1 agpgart 33096 1 sis_agp shpchp 88676 0 pci_hotplug 26164 1 shpchp snd_timer 24452 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 60420 10 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 9184 1 snd snd_page_alloc 10632 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm subdomain 78872 1 parport_pc 38980 1 lp 11460 0 parport 33864 2 parport_pc,lp nls_utf8 2048 1 ntfs 182288 1 dm_mod 54972 0 reiserfs 250480 1 fan 4996 0 thermal 14472 0 ide_cd 39684 0 cdrom 36896 1 ide_cd processor 24380 1 thermal sis5513 15752 0 [permanent] ide_disk 17152 4 ide_core 122380 4 generic,ide_cd,sis5513,ide_disk linux:/home/joegum #
