Try just one card to begin with
Follow all the other suggestions regarding seeing if Linux can see the card
Disable all unused ports, such as serial and parallel, and USB

Don't waste your money on the TDM400
IF you want a serious analog card, go with the Sangoma A200. 5 year warranty, real support from Sangoma( Digiums answer if the TDM400 doesn't work is "try another motherboard")

Once you realize you can do what you want, the T1 and channel bank route is really the best way, and with careful shopping, can be affordable.

I'm trying to set up a simple test box to start developing with Asterisk.

I've got a Dell GX150 with two X100P cards. I've downloaded, printed out and
read through most of TFOT. I've also done a lot of Internet searching.

I'm getting this error:
ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 1: No such device or address (6)

Based on the searching I've done, it seems like the problem must be shared
IRQ issues. I've gone in the BIOS and disabled everything I can but I can't
stop the sharing completely. One X100P is shared with the built-in video and
the other X100P is shared with a serial controller. (I disabled both serial
ports)

My question is this: (in three parts)

1) Are my research and assumptions accurate? Does this seem to be an IRQ
issue?
2) If I have to build another system to prevent the IRQ problem, can anyone
recommend hardware (just for a simple test box right now)
3) Is it worth keeping the X100Ps or should I get a TDM400P like used in
TFOT, or something else? (again just for testing)

If there are other things I should check first please let me know!!

TIA!!!!!

Thanks,
