The 7.2 is kernel 2.4.4 and 8.1 is 2.4.19. When I run the command
'modprobe lp' I also get the below messeges in
/var /log/messeges from the 2.4.19 kernel. The 2.4.4 kernel does not
give the same messages.
May 15 20:32:16 lasse kernel: parport 0x378 (WARNING): CTR: wrote 0x0c,
read 0xff
May 15 20:32:16 lasse kernel: parport 0x378 (WARNING): DATA: wrote 0xaa,
read 0xff
May 15 20:32:16 lasse kernel: parport 0x378: You gave this address, but
there is probably no parallel port there!
May 15 20:32:16 lasse kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP(,...)]
May 15 20:32:16 lasse kernel: lp0: using parport0 (polling).
When I check /proc/..../parport0/base-addr I get '888 1912' in both
cases so apperntly 0x378 seems to be the
right place for the port.
