    /lib/modules/2.2.12/net/plip.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
    f5git-1:/home/tony#

    Jul 9 22:13:36 f5git-1 modprobe: can't locate module char-major-6
    Jul 9 22:13:43 f5git-1 modprobe: can't locate module parport_lowlevel
    Jul 9 22:13:43 f5git-1 kernel: plip: no devices registered
    f5git-1:/home/tony#
