You want to use request_region() instead, check_region() is deprecated and 
everything still using it is being moved to use request_region().

also, take a look at drivers/parport/parport_pc.c for examples.

You can also get useful info from
cat /proc/ioports
cat /proc/iomem
cat /proc/modules

You may also want to take a look at http://www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/
