Peter, I have nothing but good things to say about Sangoma's level of support and have not had a problem with SMP kernels.
Have you contacted them before posting this? What was their response? I have a soft spot for these guys specifically because of the excellent level of support they provide. Their policy is that they will get their card working in any commercially available box. Disclaimer: I have no financial ties to them, but I do admit to using their product quite extensively. - dbc. -----Original Message----- From: Peter MacFarlane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: March-21-08 5:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] A couple of problems Thanks. Since its a big new Dell server (don't ask), I can't imagine there being a hardware problem. Might be a problem with the Sangoma drivers I suppose, since the single core kernel has to be booted to get them working. I thought Sangoma support was better than that. Guess I'll have to keep digging around for clues, maybe on the Trixbox forum. Wish I had installed the card. Then I might know more about what happened there. Peter M.
