Usually all the distro will load the parport low level driver as part of their initialization. But we can get into a situation where all the parallel port drivers are built as module and we unload all the modules at a later time. Then if we just do "modprobe parport" it will only load the parport module and will not load the low level driver which will actually register the ports. So, check the bus if there is any parport registered, if not, load the low level driver. We can get into the above situation with all distro but only Suse has setup the alias for "parport_lowlevel" and so it only works in Suse. Users of Debian based distro will need to load the lowlevel module manually.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
