Thanks for your reply, but it still doesn't work :-((
I still tried some module options, and it allways reports the same kind
of error in /var/log/messages, for example with a debug=1 param:
kernel: ppSCSI 0.91 (O.91) installed
kernel: epst.0: version code reads: 0x2
kernel: epst.0: port 0x378 mode 4 test failed (1,-1,0)
what does the '(1,-1,0)' means? it may help me to solve the problem, as
it was allways the same test result I received...
