I will try VMWare then. Does it support AMD-V or Intel VT
virtualization at processor level for speedup? If so, I guess there is
at some point some kernel code (module like KVM or special kernel like
Xen) that could provoke some similar problems with zaptel interrupts.
Could there be some issues here or am I totally wrong again?<br>

To be a bit more constructive, I'd like to ask you or anyone that dared
to try using Asterisk on a non-dedicated hardware, specifically those
that tried on a machine hosting VMs the following:
- If there is no way running Asterisk with Xen, what type of
'hypervisor' should I use in order not to have problems? KVM?, KQemu?,
VMWare?

The only one I would bother with is VMWare Server. It is solid, proven
technology, and they have a big team of very talented engineers who have
worked years to get the virtualization to the point where it can be sold
as an enterprise grade product.
If I were to try virtualizing anything, it would be on VMWare Server.

Well, in particular anything that expects unfettered access to hardware
(as most realtime applications which rely on interface cards do) is
going to be vulnerable to the proclivities of the hypervisor.
Virtualization is still mostly rocket science. I have no doubt that it
is the future and one day everything will run in virtualized
environments -- but we're still a bit away from that.
Virtualization makes financial sense when you have 20 database servers
running at 10% utilization; you can drop your hardware requirements by
at least a third... but for systems relying on dedicated hardware, I
would be very careful (again -- I speak from ugly experience here).
