discover/kudzu + devfs + parport/lp



Hello,

I'm running a sid/unstable system with devfs+devfsd and kernel 2.6.3.
I've got both kudzu and discover running, with basically their default
configurations.

I recently switched back to devfs+devfsd from a non-devfs configuration
(I had some issues with the non-devfs setup). I've generally used devfs
in the past just fine; however, I've noticed that it doesn't always do
things as "automagically" as one might expect. Without devfs, discover
seemed to find my parallel port and load the printer driver. However,
with devfs+devfsd enabled, it doesn't seem to load the parport_pc and lp
drivers, and so all of my CUPS jobs just get queued up. I have to add
both "parport_pc" and "lp" to /etc/modules, which seems like a
ham-fisted solution. Is there a way to make the module loading automatic
and have boot-time hardware detection work a little more nicely with
devfs? Thanks!

-Rob
