                In /proc/interrupts, I go straight from
                2 to 5, with no mention of parport any-
                where; 'course, this is RH, too.
                If this same setup worked fine under Man-
                drake (all the same hdwr.) then these lines
                sure seem like the answer, but what puts 
                those lines in the boot process that dmesg
                records?
                My dmesg has been non-functional since the
                first of the year (am I the only one who can
                actually claim to have had a Y2K misadventure?)
                All it will say (100+ lines of it) is "VFS: 
                Disk change detected on device ide1 (22.64)"
                Not much help...
                You're right; not a single word begins with
                a ~N, although if the whole word...
