I am also a little worried about the 'none' in ths below . root@udragon:~# sysctl -A | grep -i parp dev.parport.parport0.devices.active = none dev.parport.parport0.modes = dev.parport.parport0.dma = -1 dev.parport.parport0.irq = 6814784 dev.parport.parport0.base-addr = 2198696099840 0 dev.parport.parport0.spintime = 500 dev.parport.default.spintime = 500 dev.parport.default.timeslice = 200 But I do see timeslices in the 'lp' of /proc/... dir /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/devices/lp total 0 0 dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 17 17:26 ./ 0 dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Apr 17 17:26 ../ 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 17 17:26 timeslice Off to build 3 kernels on this old tub .
