I have a very similar problem. My second parport however is a PCI-card
on IRQ 3. But I have also got the VIA-southbridge (MoBo Asus K7V) and
a PS/2 mouse. But my system freezes completely and instantly, when I
insmod parport_pc. No ping, not even Alt-Sysrq. To avoid this problem
I detected two possibilities (until somebody really fixes it):
1. Compile everything parport-related into the kernel, not as module.
2. Use 2.4.x
