I have a PCI-e parallel port card.

"loadrt probe_parport" fails (see attached log).

Is this a known issue?

probe_parport is no longer used with LinuxCNC.

linuxcnc.org/docs/html/getting-started/u....html#_parallel_port

Which version of LinuxCNC are you using?

Version is 2.7.8 (dedicated Debian-based installation).
I figured out I could skip the modprobe line, and now I'm trying to figure out how to specify the right ports.
In the docs, after listing PCI card's ports, the author uses 0x378 (which was not listed) as output, and two of the card's port as inputs. My card lists 0xe000 and 0xe010.
Using "0x378 out 0xe000" config I managed to get hardware EStop button mapping right (port 1, pin 15), but I cannot get port 0 (the controls) right. As soon as I start LinuxCNC, spindle starts (it's documented as [edit: inverted] pin 1 of port 0), and no commands seem to take any effect.
Any help would be, ghm, helpful. Thanks!

"0xe000 out" worked in the end; not sure what I did wrong before, probably was not doing a clean experiment.
The stepconf wizard did the rest.
Thanks!
