[Asterisk-Users] IBM x306 - some progress

[Colin Anderson]

I dug up my Netfinity ServeRaid readme:

"Power on your system and observe the screen. 
Press F1 when the "Press F1 for Configuration/Setup" and "Press F2 for
Diagnostics" messages appear. The Configuration/Setup Utility main menu will
appear. 
Select Advanced Setup using the Up or Down arrow key and press Enter. 
Select System Service Processor Settings using the Up or Down arrow key and
press Enter. 
-->Change System Service Processor Hardware Interrupt from Autoconfigure to
IRQ 5. <--
Press Esc. 
Select PCI Bus Control using the Up or Down arrow key and press Enter. 
Select Planar Device PCI Interrupt Routing using the up or down arrow keys
and press Enter. 
-->Change Planar Raid IRQ from Autoconfigure to an available IRQ using the
Left or Right arrow key.<--

Notes: 

If IRQ 10 is available, use IRQ 10. 
If a PCI RAID adapter card is also installed on your system, select Slot
Device PCI Interrupt Routing using the Up or Down arrow key and press Enter.
Change the IRQ for the slot used from Autoconfigure to an available IRQ (you
can share the Planar RAID IRQ)."



In my Netfinity w/ TDM400, I have the TDM set to IRQ 15, the IDE controller
disabled (don't care about the CD-ROM), my PRI TDM card to IRQ 11, VGA set
to IRQ3 (COM ports disabled) and my ServeRaid set to IRQ9. IRQ 5 is used for
the System Service Processor.

IIRC all this I set in the F1 Setup. Rule of thumb best practice is to
disable any hardware in the system that isn't needed specifically: USB, COM
ports, parallel and this should give you plenty of elbow room to juggle
interrupts.

Hi Marco,

  As far as I can recall, the IBM setup utility can enable you to change the
IRQ of the SCSI controller. 
In addition, I've never seen a WildCard board bound to IRQ7 on any box,
which is very weird in it self.
I'm flying over to Ireland today (actually, at the airport right now), and
I'm coming back on Sunday. If
You'd like, you can bring your box to my office after Rosh-Hashana, and I'll
try to help you out.

Hi,

I asked yesterday about a problem with x306 and IRQ sharing, didnt get much
info, now, i was playing with lspci, and see something strange, lspci -v
shows me the TDM400P card is on IRQ 7, and the SCSI card is also on IRQ 7,

lspci -bv (from the man - b - shows "bus-centric view, as seen by the BUS
and not by the kernel) shows me the TDM400P is on IRQ 5, why does the kernel
puts it on IRQ 7 ?

any insights much appriciated.

Marco.
