insmod error

[Infected]

I'm running Mandrake 8 and I just updated my kernel. When booting, I got an error for insmod, so I checked my log and found this:

insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.5-9mdk/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_serial.o.gz: init_module: No such device
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.5-9mdk/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_serial.o.gz: insmod parport_serial failed

Can someone help me out here?

Thanks

edit your /etc/modules.conf and uncomment the parport line out

Hmmm, didn't see it in there. Here's what's in my modules.conf:

pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias usb-interface usb-uhci
alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
alias eth0 tulip

Look in /lib/module/2.4.XXX/kernel/drivers/parport and verify the module
was compiled and is there. Which it probably is or you would get a
different message. Check that the module is owned by root, this is
important.
Finally try to install manually:
/sbin/insmod -pv parport

OK I just reread your problem and I don't think the above post will help. What is a parport_serial module for anyway? Do you have a serial printer or something? I just have a parport.o, parport_pc.o and parport_probe.o. But thats on a 2.2.17 kernel. I could check when I get off work, or maybe someone else could check if that module is even necessary.
