No difference Rob, it still runs a parport config fine.

No output from the second dmesg ?

None at all, that is copy/paste from the screen.

An interesting thing is that I am playing around with a Mesa 7i90 I bought a few years ago and have never used.

I can see the 7i90 from the hm2_7i90 driver and also mesaflash from the first Oxford chipped card but not from the MosChip chipped card. Yet a LinuxCN parport config works fine for both cards.

Edit: Shoot I just noticed a typo in my modprobe command. I will try again...

Still the same, no output from the second dmesg.

I also did a verbose on modprobe but nothing there as well...

Interesting
Laptop without PP, choosing an arbitrary empty address
First run of Linuxcnc is without loading ppdev
2nd & 3rd runs of Linuxcnc is after loading ppdev
None of the 3 runs gave the "port not found" message.

Strange stuff, I will give it a shot tomorrow with the parport removed.

If you can reboot
Then run with the PP still installed
sudo dmesg -C
sudo modprobe parport_pc io=0xdc00 irq=10
sudo dmesg
ls /dev/parport*
sudo modprobe ppdev
ls /dev/parport*

Now I'm thinking all this should create a /dev/parport0 entry.
Then instead of using loadrt hal_parport cfg="0xdc00 out" you should be able use loadrt hal_parport cfg="0 out"

With the PP installed:
garage:~ $ sudo dmesg -C
garage:~ $ sudo modprobe parport_pc io=0xdc00 irq=10
garage:~ $ sudo dmesg
garage:~ $ ls /dev/parport*
ls: cannot access '/dev/parport*': No such file or directory
garage:~ $ sudo modprobe ppdev

Without the PP installed:
garage:~ $ sudo dmesg -C
garage:~ $ sudo modprobe parport_pc io=0xdc00
garage:~ $ dmesg

What Distro are you using ?
It's strange that there is no output after dmesg.
Did you reboot before running these commands ?

MX-19.4, a Buster derivative


It's strange that there is no output after dmesg.

I agree

I surely did.
