[Asterisk-Users] E1 PRI slips on TE410P

[Nir Simionovich - CTO]

Hi George,

  Well, here are my findings:

  1. the card doesn't seem to share an IRQ with another device, at least on
the surface visible to me.
  2. APIC can't be disabled on this board, as it's a fairly old (about 18
months old) Intel XEON board.
  
  Is there a way to define the IRQ to load the board one via the command
line?

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.
