No, the parallel port support for ASP is broken.  If you disable the
LASI/ASP builtin parallel-port support (CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC) you will get
further.  I can't guarantee you will succeed, but others have reported
some success on boxes almost that old.

This is at least the second time this question has come up, so I guess
I'll add it to the FAQ and todo lists.
