Bug#374145: linux-image-2.6.16-2-686: parallel port detected but not reported until much later
Package: linux-image-2.6.16-2-686
Version: 2.6.16-14
Severity: normal
Recently I've run into the problem of the notification of the parallel
port's existance not being passed onto udev until around half an hour
after boot-up:
Jun 17 22:24:05 localhost kernel: parport: PnPBIOS parport detected.
Jun 17 22:24:05 localhost kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778),
irq 7, dma 1 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,DMA]
Jun 17 22:24:05 localhost kernel: parport0: Printer, Canon BJC-3000
Jun 17 22:49:46 localhost kernel: lp0: using parport0
(interrupt-driven).
/dev/lp0 doesn't get created until the time of the last message listed
above, and the printer isn't accessible to CUPS until /dev/lp0 is
created, so printing doesn't work until long after boot-up.
I've tried a few different BIOS settings for the parallel port and the
problem has stayed the same.
Apart from buying a parallel port card, are there any ways to pinpoint
the problem?
Regards,
Arthur Marsh.
