I am loading parport as a module. If I scan dmesg or /var/log/syslog for
parport I find only
vilm:/usr/src/linux(30)# grep parp /var/log/syslog
Feb  4 13:06:55 vilm kernel: imm: parport reports no devices.
Feb  4 16:53:20 vilm kernel: imm: parport reports no devices.
...
vilm:/usr/src/linux(32)#dmesg | grep parp
imm: parport reports no devices.

I tried to install linux-2.6.2-mm1, but 'make menuconfig' gives only:

vilm:/usr/src/linux(35)#make menuconfig
make[1]: `scripts/fixdep' is up to date.
scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/i386/Kconfig
drivers/pnp/Kconfig:34: can't open file "drivers/pnp/isapnp/Kconfig"
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 1

Any further hint?

	Regards Juergen
