Is anyone having similar problems with pcd using Kernel v2.4.13? I'm trying
to get my BackPack 6 working. I don't think I should be passing any
other parameters to pcd.
Any insight much appreciated.

$ 540 /home/nick -> modprobe paride
$ 541 /home/nick -> modprobe bpck6
$ 542 /home/nick -> modprobe pcd
/lib/modules/2.4.13/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pcd.o: init_module: Operation not permitted
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.13/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pcd.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.13/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pcd.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.13/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pcd.o: insmod pcd failed
I get the following:
$ 539 /home/nick -> lsmod

A dmesg log would have been appropriate here.
Two things to check/test:
1. Configure the parport as EPP or PS2 in the BIOS, not ECP.
2. Tell Linux the IO address _and_ IRQ of your parport.
I have the following in /etc/modules.conf in an old box, and
its Freecom parport CD-ROM works fine in 2.4.current.
alias parport_serial off
alias parport_lowlevel off
above parport parport_pc
options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7
above paride frpw
alias block-major-46 pcd
