Description Meyser+bugs.freebsd.org 2003-09-29 14:20:13 UTC 
        If I inklude the following lines

        ----------------------------------8<--------------------------------
	# Parallel port
	device         ppc2    at isa? port IO_LPT3
	device         ppbus           # Parallel port bus (required)
        ----------------------------------8<--------------------------------

	in my custoim kernel. The system panics during boot. This happens 
	when normaly the ppc ports are detected.

        ----------------------------------8<--------------------------------
        # Parallel port
        device         ppc1    at isa? port IO_LPT1
        device         ppbus           # Parallel port bus (required)
        device         ppc2    at isa? port IO_LPT2
        device         ppbus           # Parallel port bus (required)
        ----------------------------------8<--------------------------------

	makes no problem, but adding IO_LPT3 traps kernel.

	If I boot with GENERIC kernel I geht the following output
        ----------------------------------8<--------------------------------
	cannot reserve I/O port range
        ----------------------------------8<--------------------------------
	and no LPT port ist detected.

	booting with my old kernel (same kernelconfig)

        ----------------------------------8<--------------------------------

Fix: 

If memory serves my right, this is caused by trying to reserve an extended
	I/O space (8 instead of 4 Bytes) for LPT3 (0x3bc). I think I had the same problem
	back in 1997 with FreeBSD 2.2.4

	The Fix is to NOT try to reserve this extended I/O space for IP_LPT3
How-To-Repeat: 	Install a monocrome printer card (IO_LPT3,0x3bc) and configure
	your kernel to use it.
