Bug#388309: linux-image-2.6.17-2-686: "DMA write timed out" with "CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y
Is the problem really that CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO wasn't set to N,
or is it actually that there's a bug in the kernel that only shows up
when CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO isn't set to Y (or possibly buggy hardware)?
I have been unable to print without severe errors
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/10/msg00300.html)
since I upgraded to Sarge and to kernel 2.6.8 (2.6.8-2-k7-smp, which
has CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO set to Y.
Here's my system's lshw information:
