hi,
I'm having trouble with the parport stuff & linux-2.4.0-test4. It seems that
the modules load ok, but the lp module complains "lp: driver loaded but no
devices found". so i went to the mailling list archives, and read all the
docs to no avail. heres what i get in the logs when i load the modules:
kernel: 0x378: FIFO is 16 bytes
kernel: 0x378: writeIntrThreshold is 16
kernel: 0x378: readIntrThreshold is 16
kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,EPP,ECP]
kernel: parport0: irq 7 detected
kernel: parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 870C
kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found
so the parport module is obviously loading correctly, and setting the port
to parport0, and even seeing my printer. in conf.modules i added a line
saying "alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc" (redhat 6.2). actually it was
already there, so i deleted it & tried the modules, but that made no
difference anyway, so i stuck it back in :)
lsmod gives me this:
Module Size Used by
parport_pc 18960 0
lp 5224 0
parport 27424 0 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp]
[..other modules go here..]
so the modules are loading ok.
when i delete the lp module using "rmmod lp" & re-install it using "insmod
lp parport=0" it loads ok:
[root@ansonic log]# rmmod lp
[root@ansonic log]# insmod lp parport=0
Using /lib/modules/2.4.0-test4/misc/lp.o
[root@ansonic log]#
but in the logs:
Aug 23 10:09:25 ansonic kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found
the same setup worked ok for 2.2.16, so i'm guessing it's a 2.4.0-test4
thing.. maybe maybe not. i dunno. any help would be appreciated :)
cheers :)
Tim Conlan.
