Description Warren 2004-04-05 11:49:21 UTC 
I'm mostly a kernel configuring newbie, so I opted to use the genkernel script to build my kernel.  However, when I went to set up my printer, I noticed that in the cups config, there were no parallel ports found on my machine.  I ran the "make menuconfig" for the kernel and found that in the device drivers section, there was no support for parallel ports, either built in or as a module.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
build gentoo linux 2004.0 from stage 1 on a pentium 3 based machine.
when you get to the kernel config stage, use genkernel to build the kernel.
emerge hotplug
When you get everything running, try to set up a parallel port printer.
(in konsole:) hostname linux># make menuconfig
check the device drivers section for parallel port support
Actual Results:  
As described above, parallel port support is missing by default. 

Expected Results:  
Genkernel should have (on x86 and AMD-64 hardware) included the parallel port 
support in genkernel.
