I am attempting to install emc 2.4.6 on an HP Pavilion t3000 AMD PC. I have an existing older version, running on an older PC (it wasn't up to the upgrade). So, using the old hal & ini files, I constructed the new version, adding "loadrt probe_parport" to the hal file. But, I get no output from the parallel port. Hanging a 'scope on pin 7 (my z-axis step pin), I see it stuck at 'low'. A winblows installation that was on the PC can print via the parallel port OK and the parallel port test files ptest.hal & ptest.xml work fine (I can toggle the pins and see the scope trace move ok). Dmesg only reports the usual stuff: [ 11.391926] parport_pc 00:07: reported by Plug and Play ACPI [ 11.391973] parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,EPP] [ 11.672715] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). [ 11.730579] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver I have tried removing the kernel modules, parport, & lp, with no success.
Anyone have any other ideas ??
