Hi Ulrich,

your problem is the wrong parallel port setting. You should
set this in the BIOS to SPP or EPP, but avoid in any case ECP.
With your box, this sometimes seem to work, but not reproducible...

The following is from your log:
Mar 31 23:27:04 linux kernel: Try to claim the parport
Mar 31 23:27:04 linux kernel: parport-modi: SPP PS/2 EPP EPP(ECP) PS/2(ECP)
Mar 31 23:27:04 linux kernel: Using EPP-mode

This should look like:
linux kernel: parport-modi: SPP PS/2 EPP 
linux kernel: Using EPP-mode

Hope this helps
  Gerhard
