But you may have compiled AA> parport in the kernel (not as module) without noticing that. Or maybe he is just using old kernel without noticing it. That would explain the parport strangenes and the need for kerneld.
To original poster:
What does uname -a report?
If you have redhat, did you put the kernel and System.map in /boot like redhat wants? If they are in / like the kernel default is, redhat will ignore it since it has lilo conf. pointing to /boot.
If so, uncomment the INSTALL_PATH line in kernel toplevel makefile and make zlilo.
