[avr-chat] AVRdude Headaches

[Lares Moreau]

I'm trying to program with AVRdude, but to a poor showing.

I have the ppdev module loaded, /dev/parport0 exists and is writable by my user 
in the lp group...
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 99, 0 Aug  7 11:14 /dev/parport0
My physical connections to my ATmega8 are sound,  Continuity tested my 
Cables... THey check out... tryed Two different AVRs in 3 different rigs (Dev 
Board, New design and old design), all to the same phrase...

/usr/bin/avrdude -p m8 -c lares_dapa -P /dev/parport0 -U 
flash:w:line_follower.hex
====================
avrdude: AVR device not responding
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
         this check.


avrdude done.  Thank you.

make: *** [program] Error 1
====================

NOw the kiker is that I had this working last week, but since I have rebooted, 
and appearently something changed.  I don't know what...

Any Ideas? of any sort?

Frustrated and acontent,
