Hi,
I've got a system which has a PCI I/O card with a parallel port
on it. I'd like my 8-STABLE/amd64 machine to recognise this card.
The relevant bits of "pciconf -lcv" is:
none2@pci0:4:6:0: class=0x070103 card=0x2000a000 chip=0x98659710 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'MosChip Semiconductors (Was: Netmos Technology)'
class = simple comms
subclass = parallel port
cap 01[48] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0
However, a verbose boot reveals:
ppc0: cannot reserve I/O port range
ppc0: <Parallel port> failed to probe at irq 7 on isa0
which is due to /boot/device.hints of:
hint.ppc.0.at="isa"
hint.ppc.0.irq="7"
How can I configure my system to recognise the parallel port on the
PCI bus?
Cheers.
