Andrew: I tried the asterisk -vvvc suggestion and I didn't get any messages when the card died.
Here's /proc/interrupts before I take out the sound card: CPU0 0: 102777 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 471 IO-APIC-edge keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 4 IO-APIC-edge rtc 14: 9159 IO-APIC-edge ide0 15: 6 IO-APIC-edge ide1 17: 1995769 IO-APIC-level wcfxo, wcfxo 18: 341396 IO-APIC-level wcfxs 19: 0 IO-APIC-level EMU10K1 20: 3390 IO-APIC-level eth1 21: 8652 IO-APIC-level eth0 22: 788 IO-APIC-level eth2 NMI: 0 LOC: 102728 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 and after: CPU0 0: 14903 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 2 IO-APIC-edge keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 4 IO-APIC-edge rtc 14: 7469 IO-APIC-edge ide0 15: 6 IO-APIC-edge ide1 17: 111534 IO-APIC-level wcfxo 18: 111626 IO-APIC-level wcfxo 19: 104013 IO-APIC-level wcfxs 20: 680 IO-APIC-level eth1 21: 509 IO-APIC-level eth0 22: 41 IO-APIC-level eth2 NMI: 0 LOC: 14855 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 About load: almost impossible to tell. I was sshed into the server and running top - top was showing the system 100% idle. Then I hit a download link and bang, the card died. This is all pretty academic at this point - I think Tilghman found the problem for me. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
