Hi! I have a strange problem with the parallel port of my Compaq EVO D510. I'm running 5.x on this machine since 6/7 months ago. Finally I decided to attach a local printer to the parallel port and found that the kernel couldn't detect it. ATM I'm running a GENERIC kernel, but in precedence I compiled my kernel with these: # Parallel port device ppc device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required) device lpt # Printer device plip # TCP/IP over parallel device ppi # Parallel port interface device I tried several hints for the ppc device without effect, changing irqs, ports with acpi enabled and disabled but still nothing. dmesg always shows this line: ppc0: <Parallel port> failed to probe at irq 7 on isa0 What am I missing? Thanks for any reply! Ciao!!! Claudio Di Martino claudio@cdima.net ------------------------------------------------------------- Unsolicited and/or junk e-mail to this address isn't accepted
