Hi, iam feeling a bit lost in this parport Issue.
The Bios-Setting for lp0 definitely is 0x378/0x7, so wether i load the Modules or compile parport/parport_pc/lp.o directly in the Kernel, i always get: | parport 0x378 (WARNING): CTR: wrote 0x0c, read 0x04 | parport 0x378 (WARNING): DATA: wrote 0xaa, read 0xff | parport 0x378: You gave this address, but there is probably no parallel | port there! | parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP] | lp0: using parport0 (polling). For the sake of it, i even loaded the Modules with specifying irq=none (thats why it says polling there). When searching on google i found various hints that the "read 0xff"-thing in the second line is considered bad, but no hint even *why* this is supposedly bad. Maybe someone can shed some light. thanks (please cc: me, since iam reading this list only spontaneously) -- | Rico -mc- Gloeckner | mv ~/.signature `finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | gpg/mail: 3D67 D42F 2D50 4B68 1D62 E999 EFCB CDFF 61F0 5B8C | | gpg/jabber: 7A1C D378 CAB7 C545 5E5D CC44 C44F 9657 3D9C 8389 | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
