Here's what i get when insmodding kbic.o:
Using knic.o
paride: k951 registered as protocol 0
paride: k971 registered as protocol 1

I tried all of hdXes, but they all are unoccupied: "Block device not found"

The curious thing i have noticed is, when insmodding pcd.o, i get
several messages:
insmod: unresolved symbol register_cdrom
insmod: unresolved symbol unregister_cdrom
insmod: unresolved symbol cdrom_fops

Could this mean i have to insmod cdrom.o?
