I just built a 2.2.10 kernel and decided to move the parport support out as modules. I don't have any strange setup or share devices. Now when the modules load it fails to complete the IEEE 1284 probe. When the parport support was compiled in I had no problems.
Now:(as module) Jun 17 11:11:11 brian kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2] Jun 17 11:11:11 brian kernel: parport0: unable to get hardware to register IEEE 1284 probe. Jun 17 11:11:11 brian kernel: parport0: unable to register for probe. Jun 17 11:11:11 brian kernel: parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present. Jun 17 11:11:12 brian kernel: parport0: unable to get hardware to register lp. Jun 17 11:11:12 brian kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found Before:(compiled in) Jun 7 07:54:05 brian kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2] Jun 7 07:54:05 brian kernel: parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven operation. Jun 7 07:54:05 brian kernel: parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 660C Jun 7 07:54:05 brian kernel: lp0: using parport0 (polling). I have in my /etc/conf.modules alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 I don't mind having the parport compiled in but I was just trying to trim down the components that don't get used on a regular basis. Anybody have any idea how to resolve this?
