[asterisk-users] IBM Server / USB Ports

[Matt]

Hi,
I have an IBM xSeries server... and the digium card is sharing IRQ
with USB and giving me crackling audio.

>>> cat /proc/interrupts
>>>
>>> It brings up these results:
>>>    0:   10566547    IO-APIC-edge  timer
>>>    1:          9    IO-APIC-edge  i8042
>>>    2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
>>>    8:          1    IO-APIC-edge  rtc
>>>   12:         93    IO-APIC-edge  i8042
>>>   14:         23    IO-APIC-edge  ide0
>>> 121:     481478   IO-APIC-level  uhci_hcd:usb2, eth0
>>> 137:          0   IO-APIC-level  uhci_hcd:usb3
>>> 153:          0   IO-APIC-level  ehci_hcd:usb1
>>> 161:      28479   IO-APIC-level  ips
>>> 169:   10526429   IO-APIC-level  wctdm24xxp

IBM is saying that I can not disable the USB ports!!!!!    Can anyone
offer any insight.. either as to how to disable the USB ports, or how
to make this work on an IBM xSeries?
