From the pastebin: [ 124.131795] PPMC: installing driver [ 124.131809] PPMC: checking EPP bus 0 at port 0378 [ 124.131815] PPMC: slot 0: ID code: 24 PPMC DAC card It goes on to say it detected a 24 PPMC DAC card in every slot (16 total). Unless you really have 16 DAC cards, that is borked. The univpwm configuration is designed to work with a Pico Systems Universal PWM Controller (UPC) board connected to your parallel port. The reason HAL can't find the parameter ppmc.0.pwm.00-03.freq is because the driver didn't export that parameter. The reason the driver didn't export that parameter because it didn't find a UPC card. What board do you have connected? If its not a UPC, you are using the wrong config. If it is a UPC, then this is almost certainly some kind of driver or card problem. Have you contacted Jon Elson?
