This system has a problem with the parallel port under debian; can anyone help? When booting after a unix session, the cmos report shows "parallel: none". If I go in under dos after a unix session, indeed the printer fails. If during that session I run norton's diagnostic program and test the lpt port, it finds nothing wrong -- except that next time the cmos report shows "parallel: 378". The (distributed) debian kernel appears to reset to no parallel device.
Any ideas? I've tryed with lpt.o both in and out of modules, to no avail. Who is writing to cmos? --woody Robert Weaver office: 510-631-4416 Department of Mathematical Sciences home: 510-595-9451 St. Mary's College of California fax: 510-376-4027 Moraga, CA 94575
