Gentlemen:
Version: 4.1 CDROM
Hardwar: IBM PPro 200MHz 64MB Ram
Symptomes: I am unable to get printer support (lpt?)
in any kernel that I build. FYI, there
was no printer support in the GENERIC kernel.
The criterion for "no support", that I am
using, is that there is not mention of any
lpt? in the output of dmesg.
My actions: I have followed the procedure, in the
handbook, for building printer support
into a custom kernel.
Additionally: I know that its not the hardware, as
I just recently converted this node
from 2.2.8, where printing worked fine,
to 4.1.
Attached: KERNEL_MAX1 - the kernel config file for
the node in question.
!! bugs.html - email between myself and
marko@FreeBSD.org, where he points
out the code snippet that generates
the error msg - pfc.c, line 157.
dmesg.out - output of dmesg
Conclusion: I believe that the problem is not of my
doing.
Any help you could lend in this matter
will be appreciated.
Addendium: I just spoke with another programmer who
has downloaded 4.1-Install.iso and his
GENERIC kernel does have lpt support.
Have some bad disks escaped? If so, how
do I go about getting a good disk?
