[Asterisk-Users] Kernel Freezes with T100P

[Zach Chambers]

Thomas,

Ok, I was wrong yesterday.  The reason I went to the stock kernel was 
that I could not get the Fedora "kernel-source" based kernel to 
successfully "make HOSTCC=gcc32 modules" There were so many modules that 
would not compile using that stock config that I gave up.  The reason I 
had to recompile is that Fedora does not come with the generic HDLC 
driver by default.

That said, I pounded through it last night and got v2188 of the Fedora 
kernel compiled. With HDLC support, and successfully compiled the Zaptel 
driver against it.  I'm only using the drivers/t100p for network links, 
so things that might be different about my configuration are:

#define CONFIG_ZAPATA_NET
#define CONFIG_ZAPATA_PPP

In zconfig.h.

The same problem occurrs even with this kernel:  /sbin/ifup hdlc0, 
/sbin/ifdown hdlc0, /sbin/ifup hdlc0 reliably freezes the kernel within 
30 seconds after the last command.  During one freeze I actually got 
some kernel oops info but had no way to save it.  Working on that now. I 
have also tried moving the card to a different PCI slot with no effect.

So, any other ideas are welcome, along with any ideas for obtaining 
additional debugging info.

Thanks,

-Zach.
