[asterisk-users] asterisk running @ 100% load doing nothing

[Kelvin Chan]

Hi guys,

I just ran into a funny issue here.

I'm trying to virtualize our asterisk pbx onto vmware esxi. Here's a quick glance of the system:
 * Ubuntu 9.10 i386 with linux-rt kernel (to get 1000Hz timer) everything up2date.
 * Asterisk 1.6.2.6

If I run asterisk using the debian init script in contrib/init.d/, top shows asterisk is using 99.x% CPU doing nothing. If I run asterisk with -vvvc, it runs just fine. It's the same thing either running under root or asterisk (set in asterisk.conf and confirmed with "top").

I checked my logs, nothing weird. It's not spitting a million error messages. It's not crashing.

So any hints? What can I provide you guys to help me out?

Here are some log outputs: (nothing weird)
