X affects performance. X should be interuptable by the kernel. You need to make sure you don't have a console frame buffer too. It will eat your system up with interupts. > > on IDE drives.

Video is probably polled 30 or 60 times a second, and the card is either using onboard memory to buffer data or it is using your video cards memory. Digium hardware runs 1k interupts a second and has no buffer. With all those modules running, you may be able to get many functions backing up waiting to handle their respective interupts. > > On the chance I am wrong, start unloading those drivers and see if you > > can still crash it. > > I'll give that a go tomorrow if swapping the kernel doesn't help, but I'm > not holding out much hope - an Athlon 2000 really shouldn't have problems > handling 1 phone line, and even if it does it shouldn't bring down the > entire machine in the process. I'm running multiple T1 lines on a PIII 800, but that is all it does. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
