I am running slackware 9.1 on a KT4V-L with amd 2200+ and soyo 5ema with
amd k6/2-500 gcc compiles my parallel port driver fine on the latter
system but fails on the former with a complaint that its unable to
access inb/outb commands.
Is this a known problem ?
Is there a fix for the KT4V-L system?

Are you recompiling your kernel? What do you mean by compiling parallel
port driver?

You can read a little about inb and outb in the manual (man inb).
You still may have a better luck if you post the exact error message.
Try to capture it somehow.

make | egrep -i "warning|inb|outb" >> errors.txt

I think it would not hurt if you post the error message to a Linux
drivers/programmer/kernel group.

Razzel, post back the exact and complete error messages gcc is throwing
out. And, also, what arguments are you using with gcc to compile the
module?

I was going through some code from 2002, frustrated at
the lack of comments, cursing the moron who
put this spaghetti together, only to realize later that
I was the moron who had written it.
