Re: [SLUG] SuSE 9 and apt & parallel port puzzlement

From: Robin 'Roblimo' Miller (robin@roblimo.com)

Here's where I'm at, in detail.... obviously still puzzled in part by
why SuSE isn't handling this automatically and I'm dealing with it at
all (sigh)... this is quite long with all the /cat and dmsg outputs. I
hope someone besides me is learning from this... I stepped through
several suggestions...

1)

 # modprobe parport_pc
/lib/modules/2.4.21-99-default/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.o:

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.

3) Next/final, dmesg - toward the bottom there's a line that says "lp:
driver loaded but no devices found" that seems to be the only directly
relevant one. Based on my tiny knowledge, I wonder if this isn't an
ACPI-based problem, especially since ACPI is recent in Linux and has
caused other problems. Geh. - R
