| |
** Please CC me on any replies, as I am not subscribed to the mailing list **
It appears that the build process for the parport.o and parport_pc.o kernel modules is not properly picking up the value of 'CONFIG_PARPORT_1284'. 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
