How might that be the problem?
(That line is output, so it can't be the problem (the cause),
although it could be symptom of a problem. However, that's
output from a working system, so it's not a symptom of any
problem on that system.)
Were you thinking that it indicates that my motherboard has
an odd printer port? Weren't lp devices renumbered (from
lp1-3 to lp0-2) between kernels 2.0.x and 2.2.x?
What I'd really like to know is what resource the "Device
or resource busy" message refers to.
Does anyone know what internal call is returning the "Device
or resource busy" error code that init_module is printing out?
