 Posted: Sat Oct 30, 2004 7:03 am Post subject: 2.6.9 + devfs: missing /dev/lp0 (all modules present)[SOLVED |
 |
|
A parallel printer configuration that worked in 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 is no longer working, because /dev/lp0 is no longer created.
lsmod indicates that lp, parport, and parport_pc are all loaded (actually tried both ways: as modules and compiled into kernel - no difference).
Kernel config is as directed in multiple threads (plus a few extras out of frustration):
| Code: |
$ fgrep PARPORT /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m
CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL=m
# CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO=y
# CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA is not set
CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT=m
# CONFIG_I2C_PARPORT_LIGHT is not set
$ fgrep PRINTER /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_PRINTER=m
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=m
|
I even tried mknod lp0 c 6 0 and lp0 c 6 1 ..but with no change (perhaps there's something else I needed to do?).
| Code: |
$ fgrep parport /var/log/messages
$
|
| Code: |
$ fgrep lp /var/log/messages
Oct 29 23:33:18 ouzo lp: driver loaded but no devices found
|
Anyway- can anyone give me any guidance? Why isn't parport creating /dev/lp0?
Thanks!!
