OK, I'm confused, but it works now. I checked the file, and it was correct as you specifed. After booting, but before running emc, lsmod indicated that parport_pc was not loaded but parport was loaded, and that modules lp and ppdev depended on it. I checked, and the problem still happened.

OK -- I'm glad it's running for you now. I'm not sure how to fix this problem. I *think* that I will make it not a fatal error to have Linux not detect an EPP port (but still be logged in the kernel messages). Every driver that uses EPP requires successful communication with the board at load

From what I have seen having the line NML_FILE = emc.nml causes an error on 2.4 and later, while it is required in 2.3.5 and earlier. So yes. That line should be removed from all of the example .ini files as far as I can tell. Dave On 5/9/2010 8:46 PM, Cal Grandy wrote: OK, OK
