As the 2.2.x and above kernels have renumbered the ports (lp1 now is lp0) I have this in my lilo. config. append = "hdd=cdrom lp=parport0 parport=0x378,none" The ',none' is to ignore IRQ's, thus freeing up an IRQ for other uses. ------------------------------------------------------ I tried the above but it does not seem to work. See the output of dmesg when my kernel boots. (attachment) Note that lp0, 1 and 2 are still attached. ===== Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
