Hi together,
just found this pr while looking for something different...
I have experienced a rather similar behaviour with RELEASE-4.4:
When paper runs empty, the system freezes. This does not happen
always, and seems to have disappeared after upgrading from a
486 ASUS SP3 board to something newer.
As soon as paper was refilled, system would continue to run just
fine, so this was not a big problem.
Configuration of the printer was as follows:
device ppc0 at isa? irq 7
device ppbus
device lpt
On boot, the printer port was detected as follows:
Oct 19 22:22:02 disp /kernel: FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #5: Sun Oct 14 02:37:59 CEST 2001
Oct 19 22:22:02 disp /kernel: root@disp.oper.dinoex.org:/u1/src/sys/compile/D1R44V1
[...]
Oct 19 22:22:05 disp /kernel: ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
Oct 19 22:22:05 disp /kernel: ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
Oct 19 22:22:05 disp /kernel: lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
Oct 19 22:22:05 disp /kernel: lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
There was no option PPC_PROBE_CHIPSET active in that kernel. After
adding that option, the output looks as follows (but there is no
printer attached to the machine anymore, so I cant say if this helps
the problem):
FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #7: Tue Dec 18 01:07:19 CET 2001
root@gate.oper.dinoex.org:/u1/src/sys/compile/G1R44V1
[...]
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
ppc0: SMC FDC37C665GT chipset (PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
rgds,
PMc
