I've got no idea where to start reporting... but i'll state my process. I've
got a quickcd (H45) which can connect to a computer with a little pcmcia
adapter or through parport. i've tried and given up with pcmcia... and
parport supposedly supports it. (under "cd-roms it said it was supported)
i tried the basic instructions.
rmmod lp (which wasn't loaded anyhow)
insmod parport
insmod paride
insmod epat
insmod pcd
that give "using /lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/pcd.o
pcd: pcd version 1.07, major 46, nice 0
pcd0: autoprobe failed
pcd: no cd-rom drive found
/lib/modules/2.2.19/misc/pcd.o: init_module: device or resource busy
hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid io or irq parameters
that is the error i get whether i have my parallel setting to "standard"
"ECP" "EPP 1.7" or "EPP 1.9" in the bios...
cat /proc/parport/0/* gives
model: unknown device;
manufacturer: unknown vendor;
base: 0x378
irq: none
dma: none
modes: SPP, ECP, ECPPS2 (when in ECP mode.. EPP is in there when in EPP
mode.. SPP is always there)
i tried to pass drive0=0x378... but that didn't help anything. verbose just
has it go through a bunch of epat variations and then fails. it says
0x378 is parport0 though...
i tried to load every module in the paride howto i found online. (kbic,
bpck, on20, on26... all of them... didn't help)
what can i do?
note: yes, the unit is turned on, no i don't hear it spin up or anything
when i try to load pcd.. though it spins up when i turn it on or when i
eject and reinsert the cd... and yes, there is a CD in there)
thank you,
David
