[asterisk-users] zaptel huge irq problem

[François Delawarde]

Hi,

I don't want multiple instances of Asterisk. My goal here is to make 
Asterisk and its Zaptel hardware run nice on a machine that is not 
dedicated and also hosts VM. I had lot's of problems with Xen, as the 
host runs a modified kernel that has apparently issues with the 
interrupt handling (at least).

My question was more of what kind of hypervisor I should use for 
Asterisk/Zaptel not to have problems like it has in Xen.

François.
