harddisk woes after power outage

Hi! A few days ago, power went out for a couple of hours (no, I´m not living in California ;-) ). After it was restored, the box came back up, but a bunch of files were missing in /usr/lib/, so I went to runlevel 1, and re-ran fsck.ext2, which found a whole lot of errors and, supposedly, fixe

lp.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

2001-07-06 Thread Robert Waldner
Hi! I had to reconfigure my printer port from IRQ 7 to IRQ 5 (because I´ve got a soundcard which is hardwired to IRQ 7 ). Luckily I had compiled lp as a module, so I thought a simple change from `modprobe lp irq=7` to "irq=5" should suffice. Nope: bash-2.03# insmod lp.o irq=5 lp.o: init_module
