I haven't been able to get the boards to lock up.  Since I don't think 
this is Asterisk related at all, let's take this off list.  Email me 
your config.  Also what distro have you been trying to use?  Perhaps 
you've been beating down the wrong door looking for the problem.

Go ahead and grab the latest image of Astlinux.  There's a bootable iso 
image available so it should minimize the work you'd need to do to test 
this.
