Parallel port not detected w. genkernel

[jonasforssell]

Dear Gentoo Users,

My parallel port seems not to be detected. I use genkernel and the parallel port seems to be enabled as a module in the kernel. Any ideas?

Thanks

I would try to copy to config file genkernel uses to compile you kernel and put in /usr/src/linux. Then run menuconfig and check and see if it compiles parallel support in your kernel.
