Listen to the voice of wisdom from Mark.
I just booted an ASUS AT5NM10-I board, equipped with a 2GB Crucial
memory module, into EMC2 LiveCD mode from a USB memory stick. Prior to
booting I had disabled HyperThreading and set the parallel port to EPP
mode using the onboard BIOS-setup utility.
Once Ubuntu boots, look for "parport" lines in the output from the
command line program dmesg. In my case, dmesg reports:
partport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
confirming the port functionality I chosen in the BIOS setup.
FYI, I used the latest EMC2 LiveCD file
(ubuntu-10.04-linuxcnc1-i386.iso) and booted it from a memory stick
configured with PenDriveLinux.com's multiboot usb program. I love this
utility. It allows me to boot a number of different .iso files without a
lot of hassle. The only drawback is that some distributions create .iso
files that boot in an incompatible fashion, but everything in the Ubuntu
constellation has worked for me.
To coin a phrase, my fingers never left my hands.
