Thanks Michael,

I've already been through all that unfortunately, and I have a SATA drive, so no UDMA mode 2 as far as I know. I'm currently trying everything again anyway, but i doubt it will work if nothing worked the first time.

Anyone would know of issues with XEN or SMP (or both) kernel? Do dual core AMD64 processors have issues?

François.

François,

I too had a similar problem and found the information on this page helpful:

What ended up working for me was changing the UDMA to mode 2 for the hard
drive.  Once I did that, this card has worked perfectly for me.

Subject: [asterisk-users] zaptel huge irq problem

Hello,

I had noticed strange crackling sound on my phone calls going through my
zaptel device (TDM400P), so i decided to check on possible timer issue,
and found lots of issues on forums concerning the sensibility of zaptel
with IRQs, and tried about everything: moving PCI slots, noapic and
acpi=off boot options, play with different kernel options:
iosched/preemption/timer/..., play with BIOS PCI options, change
priorities, PCI latencies, IRQ balance, smp_afinity, ................
but impossible to come up with anything correcting that problem.

Any idea about this? Is it possible to force the timer to ztdummy (RTC
timer) when you have a zap card plugged in? It's the only thing i could
try to make it work.

Thanks,
François.

Just in case:

- Linux 2.6.18 with debian patches and xen enabled, asterisk running on
dom0.

- Here is my zttest results under a bit of load:

- The card DOES NOT seem to share interrupts (checked also with lspci):
