[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Live! CF

[Kanuri, Seshu (Company IT)]

Abel,

I am working on Intel boards only.

I have tried VIA boards and I do not recommend anyone to work on VIA
boards for a production system. The reasons for this being that there
are just way too many issues with these boards, gcc being just one of
them. The main issue is Interrupt Conflicts and incompatibility for many
accessories.

The link below has more information on these problems:

A few more snippets are here

Kris probably will answer your other question.

Seshu,
Are you working on a VIA based motherboard?
I am working on a VIA based motherboard.
Andy Powell (author of Asterisk Live! distro) tells me that VIA is not
quite good when emulating i686 behavoir and since his distro is compiled
for i686...
We are trying to confirm that but may be interesting to know about your
setup and how is Kristian's distro compiled.
