I can't get hm2_7i43 and hostmot2 modules to init 7i43 card following
firmware load. Been working on this for past month thinking the problem
was hardware parallel ports, however the error seems to be the same
"invalid cookie, got 0xBCFE80FE, expected 0x55AACAFE". The "read data"
or "got 0xBCFE80FE" does change depending on paraport and firmware
loading method used, but the end result is always "invalid cookie" and
"-1 Invalid parameters" command line error.
In addition to loading firmware with hm2_7i43, I've tried other
variations of commands, like loading firmware first with bfload followed
by hostmot2 and hm2_7i43 (without firmware), but no luck. Firmware
loading seems to go well, INIT and DONE off, but hm2_7i43 module insmod
fails.
Also, tried to connect to 7i43 using tools from
mesa7i43-linux-utils-0.2.tar.bz2, but no luck either. Found the correct
ieee1284 and python debs. Couldn't figure out parport config stuff in
python scripts.
Here's the hardware:
0x378,0x0778 parport0
0xd000,0xb800 parport1 (on-card port)
0xb400,0xb000 parport2 (ribbon cable port)
7i43 powered from USB, no USB drivers in kernel.

halcmd -V loadrt hostmot2 debug_idrom=1 debug_module_descriptors=1

'config="num_encoders=3 num_pwmgens=3 num_stepgens=0"' debug_epp=1
Note: Double quotes in hm2_7i43 command took me some time to figure out,
as the config modparam single quotes were getting stripped by Bash. This
might be something to add to "man hostmot2".
