Subject: [QUESTION] parallel console configuration

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a parallel console.

CONFIG_PARPORT=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y
CONFIG_PRINTER=y
CONFIG_LP_CONSOLE=y

kernel params
console=lp0 console=tty0

System stuck on
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,
Michal

Hi Michal,

LP_CONSOLE didn't work for me for awhile, but it does work for me
in 2.6.22-rc1. Have you tested it lately?
