I managed to figure this out by myself, and for all you having this problem here is the answer (that worked for me) It turns out that the parallel ports I/O port was not defined in the GENERIC kernel config file. All I had to do was go into my BIOS and find out the port that the Parallel port was using and change device ppc0 at isa? irq 7 to device ppc0 at isa? port 0x3bc irq 7 I think that the port the parallel port uses is specific to your computer, so you'll have to find yours out yourself.
