Configuration:
Microsolutions Series 6 Backpack hard drive; last 2 digits of S/N are "38"
Connecting via parallel port cable
new HP Vetra P3-800
BIOS
port set to EPP
I/O port 0x378, IRQ 7
Standard Red Hat v6.2
I can run "insmod parport" without problems
(with /etc/conf.modules)
(alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc)
(options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7, auto)
Output: Using /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/parport.o
I don't know if I need to use the IRQ or not but I have tried both ways and
neither work.
Next, "insmod paride"
output: Using /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/paride.o
dmesg: paride: version 1.04 installed
Next, "insmod paride"
output: Using /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/bpck.o
dmesg: paride: bpck registered as protocol 0
But when I try "insmod pd verbose=1 drive0=0x378,0,38"
output: Using /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/pd.o
/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/misc/pd.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
dmesg:
pd: pd version 1.05, major 45, cluster 64, nice 0
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2,EPP]
parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present.
pda: 0x378 is parport0
pda: Adapter not found
pd: no valid drive found
In the beginning, I had to turn off lpd, since "insmod sd" was hanging at
this point when the lp module was in the kernel. While testing different pd
module settings, I have to run "insmod lp; rmmod lp" to unstick it.
What else needs to be set or configured to get this to work?
The only other thing I can do is have the drive connected to a Windows system
and see if it works that way.
