Hi! I had to reconfigure my printer port from IRQ 7 to IRQ 5 (because I´ve got a soundcard which is hardwired to IRQ 7 <grr>).
Luckily I had compiled lp as a module, so I thought a simple change from `modprobe lp irq=7` to "irq=5" should suffice. Nope: bash-2.03# insmod lp.o irq=5 lp.o: init_module: Device or resource busy syslogs tells: Jul 6 20:06:14 WatchZwerg kernel: lp0: Not found Jul 6 20:06:14 WatchZwerg kernel: lp: No override devices found. But as far as I can tell IRQ 5 is free: bash-2.03# cat /proc/interrupts 0: 70383 timer 1: 2356 keyboard 2: 0 cascade 4: 5556 + serial 7: 0 sound blaster 9: 54 eth0 10: 783 eth1 12: 61 + 53c7,8xx 13: 1 math error 14: 10430 + ide0 15: 26 + ide1 Hints? FM´s? Clue!? cheers+tia, &rw -- -- "I'm attracted by the potential for reckless abuse of power." -- - Dogbert (Adams) ----
