Ok, I tried that, but no effect, the message is always the same...
I also compiled the 2.2.7 kernel, and the message is the same too.
I suppose that I have omitted some funfamental option in the xconfig menu.....
because the 2.0.36 kernel that I use and which is ok with the ppa was a
pre-compiled one.
What is absolutely necessary to configure in this menu in order to
efficiently use the parport and ppa modules?
For the moment, I have answered
Y to the parallel port
Y to PC_Style option
M to parport_probe (that in fact I don't use for now)
M to the parallel printer port
M to ppa(older drives)
N to imm
N to ppa(16bits)
M to what is relative to the sound (I've an AWE 64 soundblaster card)
When I tape insmod ppa from the beginning of my session, I get the famous
message (unable to read partition table) ;the difference with a no-inserted
disk is the message "disk capacity failed" in this last case.
in /proc/parport, I've the directory 0 ; In this directory I've devices which
is ppa,
hardware which represents the adress of the port (0x378), the irq (none or 7
depending if there is a parport declaration into lilo), and an other
parameter which is none.
lp is allright.
