Hi again, in 2.4.3 it works with the same options that 2.4.6/9 ... doesn't work with. Just tried it. So it must be really a bug. Either in via82cxxx or pci quirks.c . I guess I will file a bugreport. Oh and sorry for the double-posting. I got and error-message when sending to this list and

Via82cxxx locked at 48kHz

modprobe lp failure

Hi there, I was just trying to configure my printer and the "modprobe lp" command fails. However I am able to start the printer manually by using "insmod lp", but it fails at boottime. By searching in a few newsgroups I figured out that the lp.o module in kernel 2.2.17 is somehow broken. So I
