As you suggested I gave the append entry : Image = /boot/kernel-2.4.9 label = Woody-249 Root = /dev/hda10 VGA = 0x31A append = "hdd=cdrom lp=parport0 parport=0x378,none video=vesa"
(my lilo as installed looks slightly different but that hasn't created any problems on any other machine and shouldn't be the cause here.) Summary : Starting lpd : parport0 : detected irq 7 ; use procfs to enable interrupt driven operation continues to occur. I would like to ask you about Interrupts and Parport. As per the rules who gets Interrupt 7 ? Is it Parport0 ? Should I now modify the append line to turn 'none' into 7 ? Thanks, ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Shyam
