    Hi,

    I have a problem with parport when booting Slackware linux (kernel
    2..216).
    The thing is that the system already has a parallel port (ISA) that only
    handles PS2 and AT modes.
    So, bought a PCI card that can handle ECP and EPP modes (which I
    need) and now I'm trying to
    make it work. I began by turning the ISA card off in BIOS.

    As I said earlier, the problem arises when booting the system. Here is a
    part of dmesg:

    First, parport correctly identifies my PCI card and the modes associated
    with it:

    dmesg : parport0: PC-style at 0xdcd8 (0xdcc8) [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2]

    Then, the problem begins. Parport identifies it again (in the same boot
    sequence) but this
    time with only SPP and PS2 capability!

    dmesg : parport0: PC-style at 0xdcd8 [SPP,PS2]

    So, when I'm trying to use the card, it only shows SPP and PS2
    capability although it should be
    to run in EPP mode.

    Can anyone explain this?

    Best regards,

    Mladen Nikitovic
