NetMos PCI Multi I/O 9835 problem

pollictor · 01-26-2008, 04:29 PM

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and I wish I could get some help here.

I recently bought a NetMos PCI controller that gives 1 parallel
and 2 serial ports. I'm on Ubuntu 7.10 with the 2.6.22 kernel.

It is listed when I type lspci:

Quote:

04:07.0 Communication controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 1P2S
Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap- 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 22
Region 0: I/O ports at 9400 [size=8]
Region 1: I/O ports at 9000 [size=8]
Region 2: I/O ports at 8c00 [size=8]
Region 3: I/O ports at 8800 [size=8]
Region 4: I/O ports at 8400 [size=8]
Region 5: I/O ports at 8000 [size=16]

Before I bought this card, I started to develop a small program with something called "parapin" in C that controlled the parallel port on my previous computer.
The problem is that my program is no longer working with my new NetMos PCI controller and I can't get any outputs from it (even by changing the port address in my program... and I'm quite sure this not a problem from my program because it works fine on other computers).

I already checked a thread on the same topic on this site but it seems old and the way to solve the problem is no longer working.
Do you know what I should do to make the parallel port work?

From the install documents that came with the card, or also located at the NetMos website:

/sbin/modprobe parport_pc io=0x3f8,8000 irq=4,22 # 8000 comes from your lspci output.

Hi All,

We have installed the Ubuntu on My CPU with ubuntu 8.04 yesterday, and it freezes,It works well with Ubuntu 7.04 and 9.04, One thing i noticed is its some thing to do with netmos addon serial card. If i discard this system boots fine. Can any one help me in resolving the issue.

Normal installtion fails, when i install with the live cd it freezes while installting at copying files 75% for ever. So i shooted the clone to bring up the system. After discarding the addon serial card it boots, but when i add it back it freezes again.

Thanks,
