Hi there,
in version 0.39, I removed the stuff with the delay issue. Instead
of that there's a module switch called slowIO which might be set
to 1 to use the delayed I/O operations.
Dave can you please enable the debug messages (see makefile of the driver) and
send the output to the list?
I think you might have some problems with the IEEE1284 autodetection
of parport devices, which is now part of the 2.4.x kernel.
To work around this problem, you have to disable this stuff in your
kernel-configuration (see parport menu entry).
Hope this helps
Gerhard
