I need to add a parallel port to a machine running Red Hat 7.1. The machine has no ISA slots. I bought a PCI parallel card with a NetMos chipset, which seems to not be supported in 2.4.3. I found a patch at Tim Waugh's site on redhat.com, but the patch is for 2.4.9 or somesuch and did not apply cleanly to 2.4.3.
The patch was simple, just add the PCI IDs so the parallel driver would recognize the card as some generic type. So I hacked up 2.4.3 and got it to compile. The driver detects the card on a test box, but when actually hooked up to the printer in the target machine, everything hangs hard with a "Spurious interrupt: IRQ7" message. Next I'm going to try Roswell or Rawhide kernels to see if any of them supports the NetMos chip, but I wanted to see if anyone here had any advice. - J< _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
