Compare dmesg from both kernels for parport0. Is there a difference?
Kam,
Yes, there is a difference - on the working 2.6.9-1.724_FC3:
[root@strawberry mjc]# dmesg | grep parport parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport0: irq 7 detected parport0: faking semi-colon parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 2100 Series parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport0: irq 7 detected parport0: faking semi-colon parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 2100 Series lp0: using parport0 (polling).
and on the problematic 2.6.10-1.741_FC3:
par[root@strawberry mjc]# dmesg | grep parport
port: PnPBIOS parport detected.
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
parport0: faking semi-colon
parport0: Printer, Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet 2100 Series
parport: PnPBIOS parport detected.

My system is an HP D330. I don't see any option for enabling/disabling PNP in the bios.
