Re: parport driver problems

[<shyamk@eth.net>]

I tried putting the append=     directive in the region of the Linux series of
instructions .(mine is a dual-boot and therefore , obviously there is "other=Win98"
series)

When this  did not work , I put the directive on top ie in the general directives.

They still make the same complaint .
"
Starting lpd :            parport0 : detected irq 7 ; use procfs to enable interrupt
driven operation .
"

In desperation I tried man procfs and it (of course) displayed no man page.

#lilo.conf
.
message=/boot/message
.
#append=       should I put it here ? Anyway this wont work

    Linux area
    #append=       should I put it here ? Anyway this also wont work

    other=/dev/....
    .


Thanks

paraport use printer at address 0x378, none = no IRQ
