-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I have a Dell demention v350 here, with a non-working parallel port under gnu/linux at least. I have the following showing up in my dmesg output: "lp: driver loaded but no devices found" Loading the parport module produces no output, though I thought I saw it producing a "device or resource busy" message, but I can't find that now in dmesg, assuming that it actually was there in the first place. The parallel port is not disabled in bios, and it does work, because when I was running windows on this machine, the parallel port did show up in device manager. Also, if I try something like: echo "test" >/dev/lp0 I get: "bash: /dev/lp0: No such device or address" Both the parport, and the lp modules are loaded: "Module Size Used by Not tainted lp 6624 0 parport 25984 0 [lp]" Finally, in my 2.4.30 .config file I have: "# Parallel port support # CONFIG_PARPORT=m CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m # CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO is not set CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=y # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_AMIGA is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_MFC3 is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_ATARI is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_SUNBPP is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_IP22 is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER is not set CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y" The only thing I have not tried is to load the parport module, and explicitly specify the irq and i/o address, and that's because I don't remember what those are by default for the first parallel port. I think the irq is 7, but can't remember the i/o address. I'm out of ideas, so any constructive feedback would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
