I just notice my par. port is no longer detected. A kernel built on Jan 21st
fails to detect my par. port which has worked fine so far.
In /var/log/messages I get the following:
Jan 27 22:29:53 <kern.crit> trantor /kernel: ppc0: parallel port found at 0x3bc
Jan 27 22:29:53 <kern.crit> trantor /kernel: ppc0: cannot reserve I/O port range
When doing a boot -v.
An older kernel booted Jan 13th showed the following :
Jan 13 21:08:47 <kern.crit> trantor /kernel: ppc0 at port 0x3bc-0x3c3 irq 7 on isa0
Jan 13 21:08:47 <kern.crit> trantor /kernel: isa_compat: didn't get ports for ppc
Jan 13 21:08:47 <kern.crit> trantor /kernel: ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in
COMPATIBLE mode
Jan 13 21:08:47 <kern.crit> trantor /kernel: lpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0
Jan 13 21:08:47 <kern.crit> trantor /kernel: lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
Rebooting the older kernel brings back my port so I doubt it's a hardware
problem. Any hints on tracing the reason for it not being detected ??
