Posted: Tue May 11, 2004 10:28 am Post subject: [Asterisk-doc] Hardware IRQ
Hi,
I just went through this issue myself two months ago. I have repeated
this stuff on #asterisk at least 5 times to others who had problems.
It's basic, but the question comes up often by people like me who bought
the devel kit. I thought my TDM was a bad board until I got the IRQ set
up right!
I don't know if there is a format to submit these suggestions, but my
time is very limited so I hope the following can be of use. I think the
basic idea is to provide a mini-guide of how to get entry-level hardware
up and running. Sometimes people (like me) know almost nothing about linux.
If what I'm doing is not the way to post, be gentle and it won't happen
again :)
To free up the most IRQ you can disable USB, serial and parallel port
support in BIOS.
Note: One thing to watch out for on some mobo is slots *sharing* IRQs.
Look in the BIOS and check if it has an entry like "1/5" in the IRQ
table. Most BIOS will allow you to manually assign IRQ to specific slots.

Actually, this is exactly the kind of thing we are looking for. This is a
very good start to the IRQ sharing issues! Thanks!
I will see what I can do about re-wording a couple of sections which aren't
as full as they need to be (I understand this was done quickly).
Keep up the good work!
Leif Madsen.

You may be sorry some day that you encouraged me! Until then, I'll keep
it coming as I can. I haven't really had time to look at all the pages
of the latest doc but it looks like it has come a ways since the version
I rpinted in March or April.
Just a point to note, its generally recommended to use IO-APIC as
opposed to XT-PIC (set it up in the kernel config). But, great work.
I'm clueless about linux wasim, can you elaborate (if necessary)? I am
using Slackware 9.1. All I did was install Slackware and get the cvs and
do the makes following the instructions.
