Hello for all, I'm getting the following problem. I run Debian GNU/Linux on a Ultra 30. Until now I have been using kernel 2.2.19 and I did not have problems. Today I downloaded the Kernel 2.4.19, compiled it and... everthing are running OK, but not the printer. I think I did something wrong in the make xconfig process regarding the parport subject. Down I put the two files of configuration I created from the two kernels (2.2.19 and 2.4.19) with other informations. Please, if someone could lost few minutes to study them and answer to me what I must do in order to fix this problem I would apreciate! As my machine takes 1 hour to compile the Kernel I'd to know exactly what I need to do if is necessary re-compiled the Kernel again! ;^)
Thank you in advance Antonio. ************************************************************************ parport piece in the Kernel 2.2.19 configuration file (this is working) ************************************************************************ # # Parallel port support # CONFIG_PARPORT=y # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_AMIGA is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_MFC3 is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_ATARI is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_SUNBPP is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_1284 is not set CONFIG_PRINTER=y CONFIG_ENVCTRL=m CONFIG_DISPLAY7SEG=m # CONFIG_WATCHDOG_CP1XXX is not set # CONFIG_WATCHDOG_RIO is not set ********************************************************************** $dmesg | lp lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven) ********************************************************************** $ls -l /dev | grep lp crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Jul 2 16:38 lp0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 Jul 2 16:38 lp1 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 2 Jul 2 16:38 lp2 ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** parport piece in the Kernel 2.4.19 configuration file (this isn't working) ********************************************************************** # # Parallel port support # CONFIG_PARPORT=m CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m # CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL is not set CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_AMIGA is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_MFC3 is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_ATARI is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_SUNBPP is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER is not set CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y CONFIG_PRINTER=m CONFIG_ENVCTRL=m CONFIG_DISPLAY7SEG=m CONFIG_WATCHDOG_CP1XXX=m CONFIG_WATCHDOG_RIO=m ********************************************************************** $dmesg | grep lp lp0: driver loaded but no devices found ********************************************************************** $ls -l /dev | grep lp crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Jul 2 16:38 lp0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 Jul 2 16:38 lp1 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 2 Jul 2 16:38 lp2 **********************************************************************
