The HAL file is correct. The PNCCONF utility will load the Mesa card
drivers as it does.
What you are wanting to do is load an extra parallel port. This is not
the same as the 7i43 card but rather a parport. You should add to your
HAL file the following stuff.
Have a look at this
If it is the case then it's confirmed that PNCConf has a bug because it
should generate this kind of configuration when a non default address is
specified for the parallel port.
Matthieu.
Yes this is a confirmed bug.

Chris did confirm that there is a bug when you dont use the default
port. What happens if you use this line
loadrt hm2_7i43 config=ioaddr=0x3bc firmware=hm2/7i43-2/SVST4_4.BIT
num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=0 num_3pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=3
Also, you must make sure that the parallel port

Hi Matthieu
My next suggestion would have been to see if the port works but you have
done that now.
I suggest that you email Peter Wallace at Mesa directly. He might be
able to help better.

Hi Marius,
See the attached file, I don't see anything related to loading the
parport driver.
It seems that the hm2_7i43 module is trying to use the default address.
I get this on the dmesg
hm2_7i43.0: board at (ioaddr=0x0378, ioaddr_hi=0x0778, epp_wide ON) not
