I've just installed the BDI CD on my old NEC
Pentium 90 and can't seem to find an lp device installed. I've checked the
/proc/devices, /proc/ioports and /proc/interrupts and none have anything
resembling an entry for the parallel port.
I removed my network adaptor and reinstalled
thinking it could be an IRQ conflict but this hasn't helped. I did a bit of
research on Linux parallel port issues and found a suggestion about disabling
PNP OS support in the BIOS. I've tried this and this hasn't helped.
The port was working fine under Win98 just prior to
the BDI install.
Any ideas on how I get Linux to spot the Port
?
thanks
Phil
