I've built myself a 2.4.5 kernel with parport support, but it appears to be broken, as any attempt to print (whether to /dev/lp0, lp1, lp2, par0, par1, or par2) results in the error "No such device". /var/log/syslog records the message "modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-6" even though the support is built-in, not a module:
CONFIG_PARPORT=y CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y The port is detected at startup: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP(,...)] parport_pc: Via 686A parallel port: io=0x378 and appears in /proc/ioports (0378-037a : parport0), but does not appear in /proc/interrupts. I dug around a bit on google and found a mailing list message listing near identical symptoms under 2.4.0-test4, but it was supposedly fixed in 2.4.0-test5. So where do I go from here?
