Need help regarding parallel port interrupt in kernel 3.2

[Vishal Nandanwar]

Hi,

I am working on a parallel port code, in which I want to achieve the
interrupt on pin 10. I have created a sample circuit as mentioned in
Book LDD. I have connected pin 9 to pin 10 and writing 0x00 and 0xFF
on the port to generate interrupt.

I have created one sample code.

Problem here is, I am not getting interrupt or my interrupt handler is
not executing. I wonder do we need to do any setting in BIOS for this
interrupt? Or do we need to enable any flag during kernel compilation?
