Hi! Ok, I have now edited the modprobe.conf (/etc/modprobe.conf):
alias eth0 3c59x alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 options snd-card-0 index=0 options parport_pc irq=7 dma=3 io=0x378 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 alias usb-controller uhci-hcd Did rebooting !! Then I get this (commandmode): [root] # dmesg | grep parport parport_pc: Unknown parameter `' parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP] parport0: Printer, Canon S750 lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). Well, are we going to give up or what ??? Never!!! :-) I hope you understand whats going on, because I don't have a clue. What now Jochen ? Greeting !
