I think you need one more module : lp, you maybe forgot it while konfiguring th ekernel before compilation, you checked these: parallel port support & pc-style hardware in section General Setup, but in section Character devices is also parallel printer support!!! I have compiled these into kernel directly and into lilo.conf have placed append "lp=0x378,7" and it works fine (0x378 is i/o port of my parallel port and 7 is its irq) so try it, bye -- I am Martin Kacerovsky, student of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at the Charles University in Prague, in the Czech Republic, in Europe, on Earth, in the Universe where Linux operating system rules...
