Errors in linuxcnc 2.7 on starting up

Hello everybody. I am testing linuxcnc 2.7 on Virtualbox 5 ( I have 2.6 installed on virtualbox and works fine ) but after finishing stepconf when I tried to lunch linuxcnc I get an error and it not start.

the error is:
"Error: Could not insert module /usr/realtime-3.4-9-rtai-686-pae/modules/linuxcnc/hal_parport.ko: No such device
./my-mill.hal:6: exit value: 1
./my-mill.hal:6 insmod for hal_parport failed, returned -1"
...

I am using an image downloaded from the ofiicial page. I don't understand why it not happen whith the previus version (linuxcnc 2.6)
I am going to use this machine as a simulation not in production.

Thanks.

Virtual PC doesnt have parallel port but the virtual pc where is runing linuxcnc 2.6 doesn't have too and works without problems.

There were some changes to the parallel port driver between 2.6 and 2.7. They are probably the source of your problem. If you can't get it to work with a virtual parallel port you may have to switch to running a simulator version of Linuxcnc.

Hello folks I could solved the problem. the problem was that there is a slightly differente in stepconf wizard in the new version (2.7) in parport base address it has a 0 by default so that is you don't have a physical parallel port it will fail but if you change that value to 0x378 the gui starts without problem.

Thanks everybody for helping.
