Are we running CentOS or what?
That new kernel in cr repository won't boot!! I get kernel panic. This is getting out of hand. Know you are smarter than me when it come to this stuff, but please..........

I have no trouble booting it.
If you've run into a problem, the most effective thing to do is file a bug. If you can do some digging into the cause, discussing your finding here (and attaching relevant bits to the bug) will also help.
Particularly important to file bugs against CR releases since CR users are functioning as pseudo QA people..

I had no trouble with panics booting new CR kernel either, but detecting my PCI-e parallel port http://www.spinics.net/lists/centos/msg119673.html. The worst is nobody has given even any clue related to it. Maybe this is the difference between RHEL and CentOS. If I was a RHEL licensed user, RedHat support staff at least would answer saying anything.

I have not seen a parallel port in years or a device needing a parallel port. I did not even know a PCI-e parallel card existed. Perhaps people just don't know what the problem is or can be bothered with technology from the eighties.
If you need it for a printer then why not get a usb<->parallel cable: http://www.lindy.co.uk/usb-to-parallel-printer-port-adapter-cable-15m/42882....

If everybody who does *not* know the answer to a question would answer "saying anything" as you suggested then this mailing list would generate a gazillion messages per day and become completely useless because of the gazillion "I don't know" answers.
If that parallel card is so important to you then why don't you buy a Red Hat subscription? At the end of the day you get what you pay for...

Following your link I only see "Compatible with Windows ME/2000/XP/Vista/7" Are you sure it will work with CentOS 6? I don't use it for print anything, but just to switch on my own home alarm as I wrote here: http://www.securitybydefault.com/2011/04/trasteando-con-una-alarma-de-securi... Sorry, it is in spanish, that's my language :) Give it a try with some online translation service.

If you don't expect anything from somebody, and you receive anything,... it would be very pleasant. Since I belong to this list, the only topic with 0 answers was my question. Is it so difficult?

Nope I don't know if it will work with CentOS 6. I looked at your page. I don't speak Spanish but got the idea. Pretty neat.

Well now at least you got 2 :)
Have you tried getting the latest Fedora 15 live cd (or maybe even the latest Fedora 16 beta/TC live cd) and boot that on your server and see if your card is recognized? That should give you some more info. Then file a bug at the CentOS website or maybe directly on the Red Hat bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com
If your card is not recognized in the latest CentOS CR kernel and in F15 (or F16) then you could file the bug twice (under RHEL6 and F15/F16). Hopefully that should get the kernel devs attention.
If you can find such a usb<->parallel cable at a local computer store perhaps you could try it and return it if it does not work?

Hi Patrick,
It is detected and working now if I use kernel 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64. The problem comes if Update to kernel 2.6.32-131.17.1.el6 from *cr* repository. I will try to send the bug to the link you sent.
Thanks a lot,

that style of programming, poking bits at a physical IO device at an assumed port address will not work on anything but a legacy mainboard LPT1 port. any PCI or PCI-E port will be at a dynamic address which you'd have to find via the plug and play device registry, or groping your way through the output of lspci, which it appears you've been doing.. a USB port requires a complex sequence of commands to be sent to the USB controller to send data to the port.
my guess is, the newer kernels have dropped support entirely for ieee1284 devices.

Hi John, Trust me, with kernel 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 it works like a charm. It is true I had to detect by myself the IO port the BIOS assign to the card and that's all. As I don't have to change daily the card to a different slot, everything works if I load the driver parport_pc with parameter io=0x2018. I was able to do this because if I type lspci, the operating system detects the card. The problem comes when I start with kernel 2.6.32-131.17.1.el6. Then lspci does not not show the card in the right way. Instead a message with the text "!!! Unknown header type 7f" appears in the section of that card. :(
