I think you mean a missing parallel port controller (ppc) instead of 
missing parallel ports, because I deactivated my parallel ports and it 
works without problems (ppc0: parallel port not found.).

This might be an interesting issue that need further investigation. I 
think it will get lost at questions@ thus I posted it to current at .
