Even though my .config file contains 'CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y', a build of the kernel does not successfully include IEEE1284 support, as evidenced by this message in the system log file: kernel: parport: IEEE1284 not supported in this kernel I was able to generate a simple workaround, which I verified works, by adding a "#define" to the relevant source code in drivers/parport/. I would have preferred to have found the actual build problem, but I must admit to not being able to completely decipher the build process...sorry. I am not sure if this is relevant, but you will notice that my entire parallel port support is via modules. The rest of the relevant entrys from .config: # # Parallel port support # CONFIG_PARPORT=m CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m # CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO is not set CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA=m # CONFIG_PARPORT_AMIGA is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_MFC3 is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_ATARI is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_SUNBPP is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER is not set CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y IF it helps: Linux llinuxi 2.4.22 #2 Wed Nov 26 13:39:27 EST 2003 i686 unknown Gnu C 3.2 Gnu make 3.79.1 util-linux 2.11u mount 2.11u modutils 2.4.19 e2fsprogs 1.27 Linux C Library 2.2.5 Dynamic linker (ldd) 2.2.5 Linux C++ Library 5.0.0 Procps 2.0.7 Net-tools 1.60 Kbd 1.06 Sh-utils 2.0 Modules Loaded qcamvc_pp qcamvc videodev maestro3 rtc apm 3c59x ppp_deflate zlib_deflate ppp_async ppp_generic slhc lp parport_pc parport regards, Stan Zitello stan_zitello@bellsouth.net
