[Asterisk-Users] E1 PRI slips on TE410P

[Nir Simionovich - CTO]

Well,

  I've disabled APIC via lilo "nolapic" argument. However, upon reboot,
/proc/interrupts still shows:

           CPU0       CPU1
  0:      27139          1    IO-APIC-edge  timer
  1:          2          0    IO-APIC-edge  keyboard
  2:          0          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  8:          1          0    IO-APIC-edge  rtc
 14:      45257          2    IO-APIC-edge  ide0
 15:        137          0    IO-APIC-edge  ide1
 16:          0          0   IO-APIC-level  usb-uhci
 18:          0          0   IO-APIC-level  usb-uhci
 19:          0          0   IO-APIC-level  usb-uhci
 20:       2575          0   IO-APIC-level  eth0
 54:     250262          0   IO-APIC-level  wct4xxp
NMI:          0          0
LOC:      27057      27039
ERR:          0
MIS:          0

  Any idea how to disable it completely?

Hi Nir,

The wct4xxxp is in a different IRQ than ide0 and ide1 but the issue is that
you have enabled the APIC (which extends the IRQ table). In reality  the
card might share IRQ with another device. My advice is to disable APIC and
then check again what IRQ the card gets. If you see that the card shares an
IRQ with another device try if its possible to disable this device , for
example USB.
