I had the same problem with a Dell PowerEdge 800 server and a TDM400 card. I talked to Digium and they suggested a workaround by adding a NMI flag reset in the Linux boot file. This only prevents a system lockup. The system worked fine even with the blinking orange light and the dazed and confused comment from the modprobe command. I have heard that the new firmware on the TDM400P card has fixed this problem, but have not experienced that first hand.
In the same machine I am using a new TE110P with no problems at all.

I went through all the usual zaptel tuning stuff.... Disabled fb, disabled ht, disabled acpi (left io-apic enabled), then moved irq affinity of zaptel card to second CPU so all interrupts from zaptel are on their own. My systems now run close to 100% in zttest, never miss an irq and don't seem to generate PCI parity errors any more. I don't know if I've fixed it, but you should really go through the whole process anyway. ========================================== Rod Bacon Empowered Communications Ground Floor, 102 York St. South Melbourne Victoria, Australia. 3205 Phone: +613 99401600 Fax: +613 99401650 FWD: 512237 ICQ: 5662270 ========================================== list wrote: > Still not resolved > > On Wed, 2005-06-08 at 01:16, David John Walsh wrote: > >>Frank >> >>Did you ever resolve this?
