It appears that "0x28" fixed the problem. Thank you to all who have contributed to this thread.

Out of curiosity, now that the solution is known, what was the problem and what is the fix doing to solve it?

Interrupt storm detected on "irq7: lpt0"; throttling interrupt source

1. Back up /boot/device.hints
2. In device hints add a line

hint.ppc.0.flags="0x20"

Flags=0x20 means disabling IRQ and use polling instead. If you add 0x08
it also puts the port in enhanced capability mode. So try flag=0x28, and
use 0x20 if that doesn't work.


AFTER the line which says

hint.ppc.0.irq="7"

You can remove this line, because flags=0x20 instructs the driver to use
polling instead of an interrupt line.
