Most probably as this is the only thing that changed lately on my system.
I've seen higher loads than 7 on my Amiga and X survived this.
I never could understand what Bus error means. I've seen first on Intel
boxes a couple of years ago... This was the message given by Netscape when
it crashed. I don't think i've seen it before on Linux/PPC ("bus error"
messge or signal 7)

I recompiled only the modules (i had all that was related to parallel port as modules in my .config) and here is what i got: modprobe parport_amiga /lib/modules/2.4.0-test8/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_amiga.o: unresolved symbol iobarrier_rw /lib/modules/2.4.0-test8/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_amiga.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.0-test8/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_amiga.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.0-test8/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_amiga.o: insmod parport_amiga failed Just in case i'm recompiling whole kernel now. (i updated only parport_amiga.c as i saw no other files where changed since my last update 2 days ago, is it ok ?) -- Robert Ramiega | ro...@pl...

Yes, that's ok, it's even enough here to do 'make modules SUBDIRS=drivers/parport'. bye, Roman |

Should be fixed now. no problem =o)) it happens =o))) this time modprobe/depmod doesn;t complain but printouts (small ps file) are screwed. Does order of modeprobing matter? (i first modeprobed parport, then parport_amiga and then lp) I don't think so but.... quick question: do You plan to import test9 anytime soon?

Yes. But there was a time when 2.2 printing showed exactly the same behaviour. I cannot tell what fixed it there. In my case (I have a PS printer): Printing PS does not work, it goes "ignore data" after a while and prints nothing. Iswitched to LaserJet II mode to see what arrived at the printer, that looked OK to me. But it was 10 pages of PS prologue, and I did not read it thoroughly. Anyway, I inserted iobarriers aroung any access on ciab and even a delay loop in the write function. With the iobarriers it seemed to get further until ignoring data, the delay loop did not help at all. I tried all this back in 2.1 when printing did not work, with exactly the same results then. But 2.1 was fixed sometime. I do not remember whom when and how. I suspect the problem is the same as it was in 2.1 (2.2?) -- Frank Petzold, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Säumerstrasse 4, CH-8803 Rüschlikon/Switzerland, Tel. +41-1-724-84-42 Fax. +41-1-724-89-56 Business email: fp...@zu...

Yes, but I think it could be a good starting point. Let's hope that I'm right.

That only applies if fbdevhw was needed for _probing_, which isn't the case for a PCI system.
