Re: [Asterisk-Users] Kernel Freezes with T100P

2004-05-12 Thread Zach Chambers
Thanks Bill,

The Motherboard and chipset are/were VIA with an Athlon processor.  I've 
just moved the whole setup to a new machine with an A-bit motherboard, 
PII-400 processor, Intel chipset, and non-shared memory video card.  The 
same problem occurs.  Is there anyone else out there using these cards 
for data-only as opposed to voice?

Thanks,

-Zach.

Thomas,

Ok, I was wrong yesterday.  The reason I went to the stock kernel was that I
could not get the Fedora "kernel-source" based kernel to successfully "make
HOSTCC=gcc32 modules" There were so many modules that would not compile
using that stock config that I gave up.  The reason I had to recompile is
that Fedora does not come with the generic HDLC driver by default.
That said, I pounded through it last night and got v2188 of the Fedora
kernel compiled. With HDLC support, and successfully compiled the Zaptel
driver against it.  I'm only using the drivers/t100p for network links, so
things that might be different about my configuration are:
#define CONFIG_ZAPATA_NET
#define CONFIG_ZAPATA_PPP
In zconfig.h.

The same problem occurrs even with this kernel:  /sbin/ifup hdlc0,
/sbin/ifdown hdlc0, /sbin/ifup hdlc0 reliably freezes the kernel within 30
seconds after the last command.  During one freeze I actually got some
kernel oops info but had no way to save it.  Working on that now. I have
also tried moving the card to a different PCI slot with no effect.
So, any other ideas are welcome, along with any ideas for obtaining
additional debugging info.
Thanks,

-Zach.

 

Ever tried to use the latest fedora kernel. Also what type of 
chipset do you have? Might be an chipset incompatiblity. Did you 
ever try swapping arround the pci card into a nother PCI slot or 
playing arround with the IRQ's?

Thomas,  I could not get the zaptel drivers to compile using any of 
the fedora kernels which is what drove me to the stock kernel to 
begin with.  I'll check the archives again on that issue.  The 
chipset is a VIA chipset.  I don't know much about it other than that 
yet.  I'll try PCI slot move as well.

Thanks,

-Zach.

 

I actually just installed the zaptel driver for fedora from cvs.
Christian helped me getting the latest CVS version of asterisk, libpri 
and zaptel.
Then what I did is grabbed the kernel-source for fedora.
I guess in your case you want to do an kernel update.

yum update
yum install kernel-source
It should install the 2188 kernel and 2188 kernel source.
Then just go to /usr/src/zaptel
make clean && make && make install
and same with libpri and asterisk.
Just make sure you removed the wcfxo kernel mod be4 you install 
zaptel. And then reboot the box as when I modprobe wcfxp it gave me an 
actuall kernel panic :-) After reboot everything worked just fine. It 
even seems like my dropped call issue is gone.

If you need a copy of the yum.conf file let me know.
