plugging a Prolific IEEE-1284 Controller Vendor: usb 0x067b "Prolific Technology, Inc." Device: usb 0x2305 SubVendor: "Prolific Technology Inc." SubDevice: "IEEE-1284 Controller"
into a notebook with 2.4.20 (Suse 8.2) I get a error: /var/log/messages: Feb 22 14:34:29 geri insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg Feb 22 14:34:29 geri insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.o: insmod parport_lowlevel failed Feb 22 14:34:29 geri kernel: lp: driver loaded but no devices found dmesg doesn't contain more. Booting the notebook (BTW: Gericom, about 1,3GHz PIV) with the Prolific Controller plugged BEFORE booting all is okay. A external USB-mouse, a USB-keyboard and USB-ISDN-Adapter (FritzCard) is connected. BTW: geri:~ # cat /proc/cmdline root=/dev/hda6 vga=normal hdc=ide-scsi hdclun=0 splash=silent splash=silent Any pointers? APIC?
