PCI Parallel Controller questions

Hello;
I just installed my Linuc CNC and am not sure the port is configured correctly.
I blacklisted and commented out the lp module.
This is the output from lspci -v
Parallel controller: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd Device c110 (prog-if 02)
Subsystem: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd Device c110
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 3
I/O ports at cf00
I/O ports at ce00
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel modules: parport_pc

What is the address of my card and address to configure hal with?

Thank you;
Astralnut

Probably 0xCF00
(but maybe 0xCE00)

Hello;
I tried the 0xCF00 and 0xCE00 as card addresses but it did not work.
Here is the lspci output again. I left out some of it last time by mistake.

Thank you again,

Well its has to be one (likely the first)

How have you determined that the port does not work?

is the port listed in the kernel log? (dmesg)

The port has been claimed by parport_pc, which will prevent the linuxcnc driver accessing it.

If you are running 10.04 based system, open /etc/modules.d/linuxcnc.conf and uncomment install parport_pc /bin/true
Then reboot and try again

Hello;
It looks like the port is working now after commenting out all the modules. I can see the port in Hal configuration.
I noticed lspci still says it is claimed by parport_pc even though no modules are listed and everything commented out.
After I tried no modules then I let the linux emc one get loaded.
I can hear the motors clicking but they are not powering up so something is wrong still with the cnc stepper control center or the signals going to it.

Thank you for the help.
