Path: sserve!newshost.anu.edu.au!munnari.oz.au!spool.mu.edu!uwm.edu!cs.utexas.edu!geraldo.cc.utexas.edu!usenet From: vax@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu (Vax) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: HELP with lpt driver Date: 18 Apr 1993 21:08:33 GMT Organization: The University of Texas at Austin, Austin TX Lines: 19 Message-ID: <1qsg0h$99f@geraldo.cc.utexas.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: sylvester.cc.utexas.edu I believe this should be a FAQ. I have fixed lpt.c, deleting the extra comment line, and adding the include file (and rearranging them), and I have installed patchkit-0.2.2, and I have recompiled (successfully) a kernel with lpt in it, and I have made the device files for lpt, and I have run dev_mkdb. But I must be missing something simple, because I get a /dev/lpt: Device not configured error when I try to write to it. BTW, it is found upon boot up. So what am I missing? I have also tried using the lpt_haug files, including the patch and the lpt.c included therein. I have not installed the interruptless-kit.shar file, since it wants to install with the name of "lpt", and I believe the new patchkit has dubbed it "lpa", so maybe someone will clear me up on that. Thanks... this seems like a problem I have fixed before for other device files, it's just one of those days you can't remember how you fixed it. -- Protect our endangered bandwidth - reply by email.
