Hi Paul, can you give us the output of 'lsmod' from before starting emc2?
Maybe you can join #emc on irc.freenode.net (would be faster than exchanging emails every couple of days) Regards, Alex ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Pierce To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2007 12:10 PM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Parallel port problems > I could not source enough current from my Parallel port for my > controll card to drive my stepper motor, so today, i added a new PCI > parallel port card. Some information on the wiki: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?NetMos Thanks Chris. My problem is that even when i try to address my old parallel port 0x0378 - i get an error when i try to start EMC. I have tried addresses 0x0278 and 0x03BC and still i get an error. I don't know why i cannot access my old parallel port. This is the same even when i remove the PCI Parallel port card and just address the on-boar parallel port. The debug line says: insmod: error inserting 'usr/realtime-2.6.15-magma/modules/emc/ hal_parport.ko' :-1 device or resource busy. For ideas on reducing your carbon footprint visit Yahoo!
