[Asterisk-Users] PRI issues with TE410P

Before going to gentoo or another version of linux, try the following:

1) turn hyperthreading off in the BIOS. It's probably called something
like "virtual cpus".

2) Use a vanilla kernel from kernel.org e.g. 2.4.25.

We used to have times when the system would just hang. Using a
non-redhat kernel seems to have resolved that. We also use Gentoo, but I
warn you that it is not the easiest flavour to set up!

Hope that helps.

Dear,

Are you using Redhat9.0, coz I discussed about this yesterday with mike
in Digium, and he said that this is normal with Redhat (due to its SMP
handling problems), further he suggested to shift either to redhat 8 or
debian. You can try debian or gentoo. 

I will try gentoo tomorrow and will see this behavior again.

Regards
Azher
