Dear Philip Blundell,
dear Linux gurus,
I'm sorry I'm not able to offer a bug fix, but at any rate, with the pre-2.1.48 patch applied, my Linux box still fails to include a subdirectory "parport" in proc, and echo "test" >/dev/lp0 results in a message of "Trying to free free IRQ8".
Too bad, IRQ8 is listed for rtc in /proc/interrupts, and parport0 is not included there. The printer gets some data, but fails to print properly.
The relevant lines from the boot message are
--- snip, snip --- Jul 29 07:16:37 localhost kernel: Linux version 2.1.48 (root@ernst) (gcc version 2.7.2.3) #1 Tue Jul 29 08:52:54 MEST 1997 Jul 29 07:16:37 localhost kernel: POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX Jul 29 07:16:37 localhost kernel: Starting kswapd v 1.23 Jul 29 07:16:37 localhost kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 8, dma -1 [SPP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2] Jul 29 07:16:37 localhost kernel: Serial driver version 4.24 with no serial options enabled Jul 29 07:16:37 localhost kernel: ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A Jul 29 07:16:37 localhost kernel: ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A Jul 29 07:16:37 localhost kernel: lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). --- snip, snip ---
Best regards,
Ernst
