Hm! My Compaq laptop 9020 has no paralel port.
In the kernel I removed all lines regarding it.
I still have irq7 messages in console. They are
benign, no hang. Intel; could be some controler
wants to "hallo, I'm here!".

Some BIOSes need full atention. If original poster
has motherboard book, he could tweak over options.
I recall an issue prior to remove apic on nforce3
mobo.
