Am I right in reading that you're using a HP DL580?I had very similar
problems using a DL145, earlier on, and a number of users suggested that
this might be due to custom PCI bridge chipsets on HP motherboards.
The theory is that the PCI chipsets are designed with specialist timing to
shave nanoseconds off interrupt times, so that you get better hard disk
throughput.

However, it does tend to murder E1 timing, and breaks the entire system.
I resolved the problem by using a non-branded server with a more standard
Tyan motherboard, all timing problems went away, and the system worked
perfectly.
I know it doesn't really sound very helpful to blame the entire server
manufacturer, but some others might agree, brand spanking new and shiny
might not be the best thing for Asterisk, especially these cards.
