No parallel port set up on Alix 1D board

[Joao Bonina]

Hello Paul,

sorry about that.

I'm attaching the serial console debug, as well as the dmesg output.

I'm using coreboot v4.0-2408-gad422c0

SeaBIOS is version -20120527_232947-debian (as outputted by SeaBIOS build).

Distribution is Debian Squeeze, and kernel version is 2.6.38-bpo.2-486.

Thanks in advance!

Dear Joao,

at first, could you in the future please just send plain text messages
to the list [1][2]? That would be awesome.

Unfortunately you do not provide enough information for developers to
help you. Please tell them the coreboot version, the SeaBIOS version,
the distribution and so and on.

Also please attach coreboot’s debugging output and the Linux kernel
messages.

Thanks,

Paul

The error is in your log:
PNP: 002e.1 60 <- [0x0000000378 - 0x000000037f] size 0x00000008 gran 0x03 io
PNP: 002e.1 70 <- [0x0000000007 - 0x0000000007] size 0x00000001 gran 0x00 irq
ERROR: PNP: 002e.1 74 drq size: 0x0000000001 not assigned

You'll need to see what is going on in the SIO code for that device.
The setting is done in the mainboard devicetree.cb.
