Well, the info placed in the kernel message log may give more info, but 
most likely
the driver is not detecting a board.

EPP mode is required for the PPMC driver and Pico Systems boards. 
 From your other mail, the line that tries to install the driver is :

loadrt hal_ppmc extradac=0x00

Since yours is a new USC board, it should support the extra DAC, so that
isn't the problem.  Maybe this motherboard uses a different parallel port
address than the default 0x378.  Anyway, you should run the diagnostic
program from 
http://pico-systems.com/codes/univstepdiags.tgz

Instructions are at 
http://pico-systems.com/codes/univstepdiags.html

This program is a lot faster to use than trying to start EMC and then searching 
for
info on why it failed.

With any Pico Systems board, you need to use a parallel port cable that is 
designed
for IEEE-1284 use, and they say "IEEE-1284 compliant" right on the cable jacket.
