For the record, I used console=lp0 quite recently (stock 2.6.19 according to the printout, running on i386) [to find out what was causing a panic that immediately vanished off the top of the screen because of "atkbd.c: Spurious ACK..."s from the flashing kb LEDs] and it worked just fine. The parport-related lines went: lp: driver loaded but no devices found parport: PnPBIOS parport detected. parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP] parport0: Printer, EPSON Stylus COLOR 600 lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven) lp0: console ready ... then the kernel continued booting until the panic occurred (it was a silly storage-related misconfig on my part). If anyone wants me to try anything (newer kernel or different parport-related BIOS settings, perhaps, to see if I can duplicate the problem?) and report back, let me know.
