Sorry my fault!
The mknod command was wrong:
mknod -m 664 /dev/pt_drv c 40 0
And if the module has been loaded, you can check the
proc-fs:
cat /proc/pt_drv/device0/info
This should show you the loaded device. In your case
it is not necessary to remove th IEEE stuff, because
you had already managed to load pt_drv ...
The modprobe problem is still strange....
If you like to use the makefile, then find the line
load:
there you might replace /sbin/modprobe by /sbin/insmod
then make load should work and the nodes were created
automatically...

Thanks Gerhard, the scanner is detected now. I haven't
tried it out yet, but I believe it should work fine.
About the 'make load' I have no idea because I tried
with Mandrake 8 installed on my computer as well and
the same '/sbin/modprobe' problem happened so it's not
only happened to my Redhat 7.1.
If anyone experience the same thing with their Redhat
7.1 or Mandrake 8 it would be a good idea to share for
the benefit of all.
Anyway, again, thank you for the kind help.
Cheers,
Alimin
