[Asterisk-Users] Re: Sangoma A102 cards testing

[Calin Serbanescu]

I had the same problems with Tormenta2 card from Digium.

Same behaviour, both cards were receiving irq`s, but when spans got up,
lots of messages ("Bad FCS") came up too on my asterisk console...
everything died with kernel panic in the end...

The motherboard was an Asus with dual Pentium3 933MHz, distro was Debian
SID with 2.6.10-1 kernel, asterisk 1.0.5.

I also changed the motherboard with a classical intel P4 Board (an older
one, GERG2) and it worked fine.

Try booting up your kernel with noapic and nolapic parameters. That
should disable the crappy IRQ routing through ACPI.

Please let me know if it works for you, because i really miss my old
Asus dual P3 configuration. :) Too bad i had to loose a whole night to
figure it out it was the motherboard... i even reinstalled everything
from the scratch too with no results... :(
