I think I used lp=parport0 parport=0x378,7, in my loadlin command line ... My paralell port uses IRQ 7 under windows, so I though I should use the same under debian. I'll try it out(assuming that'll work with loadlin). Thanks.

Have you put into your lilo.config append statement a parport statement? append = "hdd=cdrom lp=parport0 parport=0x378,none" The none tells my system _not_ to use an IRQ so it polls the printer instead. :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-) -- Real Time, adj.: Here and now, as opposed to fake time, which only occurs there and then. _______________________________________________________ -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
