I've had a lot of problems--and so have a few others (very few) with the =
4.6=20
kernels not recognizing parallel ports to the point they are not useable.=
 =20
simply cant use them to print.  The kernel on boot spits out "ppc0: canno=
t=20
reserve range". =20

I have installed 5.0-DP1 and it_does properly recognize the parallel port=
s. =20
HOWEVER if I cvsup the kernel source and recompile a new kernel (fer=20
instance, for sound card support) that capability goes away.

Has anyone else seen this??? NOthing I have done with the 4.6- or 4.7 ker=
nels=20
has helped. =20

Guess it's back to 5.0-DP1, if I want to print, eh?
