I/O ports at e000 [disabled] [size=8]

I am trying to upgrade linuxcnc to 2.9.3 I was running 2.7.x I am using all the same hardware but when the parallel port tries to load it gets the I/O ports at e000 [disabled] error. On the old version is was running a port 0xe000 and irq 3

parport_pc.so file missing

That file is the Linuxcnc driver, if that is missing there is something wrong with installation.

Is this the same computer that was used before?  How about the parallel port card?
The [disabled] indication means that the port will not work, the kernel has done something to disable access to it.
I had this issue with a specific Dell desktop machine, and had to use a different PCIe parport card.  I recommend cards with the NetMos 9900 or 9901 chip for use on PCIe slots.  These have always worked well for me.
