[Voyage-linux] MP-954GPS on ALIX.3c board with Voyage Linux 0.5.2

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Robbert,

I am looking at it a bit, can you recompile the kernel with parallel 
port support.  It seems that the Oxford chipset is a multiport I/O.  Or 
you may install stock Debian kernel (need modifying grub's menu.lst to 
boot properly)

 --- Parallel port support
 <M>   PC-style hardware
 <M>     Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)
 [*]     Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)
 [*]     SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)
 <M>     Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports
 <M>   AX88796 Parallel Port
 [*]   IEEE 1284 transfer modes

Regards,
Punky
