in General setup: <M> Paralel port support <M> PC style hardware
In character devices <M> paralel printer support
Further option in block devices might be of interest too: <M> Parport IDE devices
a list of devices and protocolls follows below that.
Thank you for confirming, Juergen, but all the options you mentioned are already enabled. I tried recompiling, but still have the parport - char-major-6 error, and have no clue as to what it means or can do to stop it. The burner is still on the waiting list. I managed to burn several cdrw's (why?), one cdr, but the next two cdr's failed. Thanks a lot anyway for the pains you've taken. fx -- ______________________ Courtesy of SuSE Linux Kernel 2.2.16 (why worry?) <blockquote TYPE=CITE>in General setup: <M> Paralel port support <M> PC style hardware In character devices <M> paralel printer support Further option in block devices might be of interest too: <M> Parport IDE devices a list of devices and protocolls follows below that. </blockquote> Thank you for confirming, Juergen, but all the options you mentioned are already enabled.
