I've disabled the printer port in the bios:
[larse@dum: /home/larse] dmesg | grep ppc
ppc0: parallel port not found.

[larse@dum: /home/larse] vmstat -i
interrupt      total      rate
ata0 irq14       1724        9
ata1 irq15          4        0
fdc0 irq6           2        0
atkbd0 irq1       331        1
clk irq0        18881       99
rtc irq8        24165      127
ed0 irq7         3811       20
Total           48918      258

I have tried to use that card under irq5, which should also be free (my
soundcard is at irq11). However, that causes "ed0: device timeout"
problems. Using irq3 or irq4 (with disabled serial ports) works as irq7
does, with the "ring overrun" messages.

faselect run? What is that/how do I enable this?

Thanks,
Lars
