I checked that parport pc is loaded. 
Proc fs is enabled and mounted too.

I don't get unresolved symbols today, now I get:

[root@croalnotebook plustek driver]# make load
/sbin/modprobe pt drv || exit 1
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk-win4lin/misc/pt drv.o: init module: Success
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk-win4lin/misc/pt drv.o: insmod 
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk-win4lin/misc/pt drv.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk-win4lin/misc/pt drv.o: insmod pt drv failed
make: *** [load] Error 1

IIRC it is after a reboot that the  unresolved symbols happen. BTW I did 
update my modules.conf and did run depmod.

I also noticed that make load fails to create the /dev/pt drv* nodes, 
guess it doesn't make it that far.

Are you willing to send me a copy of your pt drv.o to try? I am running 
gcc 2.96,  kernel 2.4.3mdk stock on an AMD K6-450 (i586).

Am willing to try any and all legal suggestions. Thanks for your help.
