Thanks Tim.

Said and done: kernel compiles, lp module insmods
and printer prints! :-)

Parallel port sharing: $Revision: 1.3.2.4 $
parport0 at 0x378, irq 7, dma 3 [SPP,ECP,ECPPS2]

New bug (not related...):

xntpdc dies silently with any interactive command (xntp3-5.90.tar.gz
built with default 'configure' command) this has happened with all
experimental kernels I have tried (30-pre36). strace gives no clue...It
worked flawlessly with 2.0.28,29,30

xntpd seems to be working.
