Re: [Asterisk-Users] Changing IRQ's on TDM
Hi Bryan, thanks, but we found a combination of slots that resulted in the TDM (and our BRI ISDN card) getting a unique IP address. IBM has a lot to answer for with their xSeries 206 server - looks like they've given the BIOS a lobotomy or something, as it doesn't allow you to configure much.

There are four INT# lines on every PCI slot. INTA of slot1 is supposed to be routed to INTB of slot2, INTC of 3, INTD of 4. INTB of slot1 - INTC-2, INTD-3, INTA-4, and so on. If I could programmatically select on the PCI interface IC of each chip which INT# to utilize it owuld make interrupt routing far less of a hassle when dealing with assinine motherboards and assinine chipset IRQ routings... Of course, if people just wrote their goddamned drivers correctly interrupt sharing wouldn't be much of an issue on PCI. :-) -A. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
