Yousef,

Since you've said that you have a DB25 printer port on your Tecra that
is not being properly detected on boot, and doesn't show up in dmesg, I
would consider commenting out irq 7 error logging to be just 'shooting
the messenger', ie masking the problem rather than fixing it.

Nothing further from me on this one ..

Cheers, Ian
