Yousef, Since you've said that you have a DB25 printer port on your Tecra that is not being properly detected on boot, and doesn't show up in dmesg, I would consider commenting out irq 7 error logging to be just 'shooting the messenger', ie masking the problem rather than fixing it. Nothing further from me on this one .. Cheers, Ian
