[asterisk-users] busy hangup HDLC Bad FCS (8) on Primary D-channel

[randall]

Hi all,

After running fine for a few months now asterisk seems to hang
frequently , still functioning but the DAHDI channels seem busy  (users
report a busy signal when calling or being called)

A reboot will allow it to run for another day or maybe 2  or 3 till the
problem occurs again.


running stock Asterisk 1.6.2.9-2+squeeze2 on Debian with stock kernel
2.6.32-5-686

i get the following errors:
pri_dchannel: PRI got event: HDLC Bad FCS (8) on Primary D-channel of span 2

(happens on all 4 spans)

and the following in dmesg:
[ 9004.635323] NOTICE-xpd_bri: XBUS-00/XPD-01: D-Chan RX DROP: BADFCS: 252
[ 9004.635332] NOTICE-xpd_bri: XBUS-00/XPD-01: D-Chan RX:    current
packet[0..2]: 55 55 FC
[ 9004.635340] NOTICE-xpd_bri: XBUS-00/XPD-01: Multibyte Drop: errno=-71


Channel 0/1, span 1 got hangup, cause 18

According to my searching on the web the last two weeks i understand
that the first mentioned error can indicate a wrong configuration
setting or buggy hardware.

Have tried many options but the dahdi config as copied over from the
same machine (with elastix 1.4) seems the only one that seem to work

anybody has a clue?
much appreciated
