I've loaded Mandrake 8.1 on a duron 750 with 320Meg ram. I've been unable to set up printing on this beast. Uasually this has not been a problem for me. Looking to see what could be messsed up, I noticed this little blurb during boot.:
Dec 16 22:56:54 crash kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,DMA] Dec 16 22:56:54 crash kernel: parport_pc: Strange, can't probe Via 686A parallel port: io=0x378, irq=-1, dma=-1 Dec 16 22:56:54 crash kernel: lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). Now why would it be probing irq=-1 when the dang thing is at irq 7? is there a setup or options file in mandrake that would be incorrect and thus messing up my printing? This machine is running a stock 8.1 with no upgrades. I'll take any ideas no matter how wild:) Although I'm not new to linux, I am new to Mandrake. I've always used Caldera (can not buy Caldera at the local distributor any more).
