asterisk users - Jan 2005 - problem with TE-405P

Hello, I have two TE-405Ps that I am having trouble with.

I'm using an Intel 865 motherboard with a Celeron D processor.  Kernel
2.4.26,
Slackware 10.0. 

my /proc/interrupts:

          CPU0       
  0:     172317          XT-PIC  timer
  1:          2          XT-PIC  keyboard
  2:          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  5:       2003          XT-PIC  eth0
  8:          1          XT-PIC  rtc
  9:          0          XT-PIC  t4xxp
 14:       2859          XT-PIC  ide0
NMI:          0 
ERR:          0

my lspci:

Herein lies the first strange problem.  Usually the 405ps show up as device
0314.  It is coded that way in the zap driver.  Both 405ps I have show up as
0214.  I have changed the zap driver to 0214 to make it work.

Yesterday I had the card working, but overnight it died.  The card does the
knight rider scan when the machine is booting.  Once the module is configured
it is supposed to go to the slow blinking red lights since there are no PRIs
plugged in... but instead, the lights go out completely.  If you hook up PRIs,
they do not respond.  

What could be wrong?

That is a bad thing... not only are you on IRQ9 but the PCI slot does not seem 
to be able to signal interrupts.

Have you tried swapping slots or adjusting the BIOS to make the damn thing use 
a "real" interrupt?  Using IO-APIC might also help (requries a kernel 
recompile IIRC the 2.4.26 kernel slackware has provided doesn't have IO-APIC
support installed).

Yeah mine is coming up as 0314 -- I am curious as to why it's coming up
wrong,
the PCI IDs should be the same on every TE405P. 

Have you contacted Digium on this?  It's a USD$1500 card and support is 
included in that price.  They'll likely want root login on that machine so 
have it handy (change your root password beforehand).
