You can try to force the parport irq via procfs.

echo 7 >/proc/parport/?/irq

but be sure to apply my patch (I will sent it to you via private email)
that fix a bug in parport_procfs before. Be sure also to not run "echo
0>/proc/parport/?/irq" because the parport procfs will free the 0 irq in
order to gain it and your machine will hang (of course if int 0 is the
timer interrupt as with i386).
