    SubjectIEEE1284 (Parallel Port) Kernel Build Problem
    ** 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
