PCIe - No parport registered at "0x " . This is not Always an error.Continuing.

Picture, capabilities access denied, that is usually due to not using sudo, so
sudo lspci -v
see if it shows the driver and kernel module.
Always use sudo when dealing with kernel level stuff, for reading only.

Thank you for the tip! 

This is the message showing up:

 

I have two cards, the top one it the PCIe Sunix 2212, the botton one is the PCI Moschip MCS9805CV (sudo lspci -v)



This is the output from sudo lspci -vv for both cards as well (maybe it helps)

As you can see, no driver and no module.

I have ordered a couple of Sunix PCI (not PCIe) as well. They are supposed to arrive next week. As soon as I have them in hand I will post results here forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/54368-pci...-work-out-of-the-box

At leas two different Sunix chipsets. Maybe tree. All of them PCI.

Running
Give both the name of the card name & PCI ID

Here's one that might you lead you astray

Looking through /proc/ioports shows the serial port @3008 and the parallel port @3000

dmesg shows
0000:06:0d.0: ttyS4 at I/O 0x3008 (irq = 22, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
parport0: PC-style at 0x3000, irq 22 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]

Then there's info under /proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0 (in the case of the first parallel port) the hal_parport gets it's info from and depending on what is found there, gives the message that started this all.

Just saying there seems to be a couple of ways to skin the cats.

as said I before gives the name (generic) & PCI ID eg likewhich is the important bit and what the kernel uses to load a driver.

The editor is a pain the ass, when editing it's best to click the source button, sometimes you'll need to put the 'end tags' in the right place, especially if you have any, all the [/code] get lumped at the end, not following the preceding [code]

It told you 3 times the correct usage, justthere's no options available at all.

use grep with dmesg, we don't need the whole output, or if you're going to give the full output attach it as text file, then it can be searched in an editor.
oror
And attach the text files.

I'm impressed mate

Yeah I know you're giving your time, much appreciated, but text files are so much easier to search through. especially for something as long winded as dmesg. Anyway it's so much easier than cutting & pasting.....and millions of times better than a photo of a screen.

Regarding Ubuntu, off topic a little, but did you hear that a lot of the core utilities they are rewriting as Rust and dropping the old stable C coded ones (I think a lot of origins from Unix days). I reckon Linux might be in for a few rough years.

No mate, genuinely impressed, I think I may have misjudged you and would like to extend my apologies.

All The Best
