[Asterisk-Users] TE405P takes ~5mins to load.

[Derrick Knight]

Can you refresh my memory on the Linux rev (Slackware 2.4.26?) and 
Zaptel driver version? I am currently running Slackware 10.0 (2.4.26) 
with Asterisk 1.0.7 and zaptel 1.0.7. I am seeing boot times of well 
under 1 minute.

Also, where exactly are you seeing the "delay" during the boot process. 
You noted the point where you were at 5-15 minutes, but wasn't sure 
where it started to get slow. Is it quickly getting to the zaptel driver 
and then slowing down or is it slow prior to that? I would focus on 
potential IRQ conflicts (cat /proc/interrupts) or the kernel probing for 
non-existent devices.

Details on exactly where the slowing begins would be a start.
