    Hello!

    I have a problem with the HP7100 burner:

    this is the only way I have to load the pg driver
    modprobe pg drive0=0x378,0,0,2,0,0

    I know I need EPP 32 to work at 2x with the burner
     (with other motherboards than K7V I have already succeded)
    so I tried :

    /sbin/modprobe pg drive0=0x378,0,0,5,1,0
    /sbin/modprobe pg drive0=0x378,0,0,5,1,1
    /sbin/modprobe pg drive0=0x378,0,0,5,1,-1

    but the answer was:

    /lib/modules/2.4.7-1/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pg.o: init_module:
    Operation not permitted
    Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
    including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

    does anybody knows where I am doing wrong?

    thanks
    Gianandrea
