Parport error in .hal killing CNC start-up was created by vbigger
Good Morning,
After lots of troubleshooting, I'm still can't get LinuxCNC to open. Trying to control a Denford micromill modified with a CNC4PC parallel 's BoB following J.Summit's blog. Seems I'm having trouble with the onboard HP parallel port (0x378)? Tried assigning with several renditions of 0x378; 378; "378-37b in 37c-37f out"; 0x0378; ....
I'm a clueless Linux newbee.... but I've seen several problems solved when forum guru's look at the .hal or error code, so if you could check out mine, I would love to have your input. See attached.
Thank ahead everyone!

Is the port enabled in the bios?
and have you tried loadrt hal_parport cfg= "0 out "

Add this to the hal file and delete what you have there
loadrt hal_parport cfg="0 out"

Bios shows:
Serial port A 3F8-3FF, IRQ 4
Parallel port 378-37F, IRQ 7, DMA 3
loadrt parport_hal cfg= "0 out" show no apparent change, new error code and .hal attached
ALSO: I couldn't get steppers to move in stepconf

You cannot have a space after the"=" in the cfg="0 out" token
halcmd: loadrt hal_parport cfg= "0 out"
Invalid parameter `0 out'
halcmd: loadrt hal_parport cfg="0 out"
config string '0 out'
halcmd: loadrt hal_parport cfg= "0 out"
Invalid parameter `0 out'
halcmd: loadrt hal_parport cfg="0 out"
config string '0 out'
