Are they any issues still with hyperthreading processors, I've read and been told by a few people to make sure its disabled in bios if I want to use * on a hyperthreading machine. Kind Regards, Chris Bond
I think that's related to the 2.4 kernels, as they look at the HT CPU as 2 CPU's. I'm running Asterisk on Gentoo running kernel 2.6.5 and I'm not having any problems.

I'm running asterisk on a 2.8Ghz w/HT and 2.4.25 kernel. I wasn't aware that I needed to disable HT, but all seems to be running ok for now. The 2.4.x kernel seems to be completely ignorant of hyper threading, which IMO, is quite frustrating. HTT has been around for years now, and 2.4 kernels still can't use it. I've been trying, unsucessfully, to get a 2.6 kernel built and running, but it doesn't like my ethernet card. The eepro100 and e100 drivers both (at separate times) load fine, detect the nic, but the nic can't function. FWIW, the hardware reported in dmesg/lspci is 82562EZ. It works fine with linux 2.4, and FreeBSD 4.8 and 5.x. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks http://www.psknet.com 866.477.5638> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Chris Bond > Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 4:35 AM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Hyperthreading? > > Are they any issues still with hyperthreading processors, > I've read and been > told by a few people to make sure its disabled in bios if I > want to use * on > a hyperthreading machine. > > Kind Regards, > Chris Bond > > _______________________________________________ > 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 >
I am just about to load asterisk onto a Compaq (now HP) ML350 with 2 Xeon processors (HT enabled), 2 gig ram, 5 76Gig SCSI hard drives with hardware RAID 5. System is running Fedora Core 1 2.4.x kernel . Ill let you know how it goes. BTW, it seems the OS thinks there are 4 processors installed. Even core 2 (2.6.5 kernel) when briefly installed (because it sucks) reported 4 CPU's.

Me too, in fact it's just a little better with HT on.

A lot of people have no zaptel hardware in their system. That seems OK with HT on. Some people with zaptel hardware use it in very simple ways. That also seems OK. However, if you try things like setting loopback on a TE410P card with HT turned on, the machine locks solid. So, there are HT issues, but not everyone hits them. Regards, Steve
hi all, I'm trying to build an IVRs. anyone here can spare a sample extensions.conf? or maybe a link. Thanks in advance!
I have a Linux 2.6.6 box with Hyperthreading with a Digium 4 port T1 board [TE-405P ?] Intel P4 3.2 w/ HT and the board is an Intel 875 w/ HT support. So far no issues. I did have a hard-lock six hours after first booting the box, but so far it has been up since then [uptime 5 days 16:11], and actually has higher load than when it locked [had no load then]. Call quality is perfect. I will reply again to this thread if any problems do crop up.> Message: 10 > Date: Tue, 08 Jun 2004 08:44:19 +0800 > From: Steve Underwood <steveu@coppice.org> > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Hyperthreading? > Reply-To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > > Chris Bond wrote: > > >Are they any issues still with hyperthreading processors, I've read andbeen> >told by a few people to make sure its disabled in bios if I want to use *on> >a hyperthreading machine. > > > > > A lot of people report no problems with HT turned on, but you have to > look at these reports carefully.

T100P talking to a channel bank, and will shortly be talking to the phone system as pri_net 2. TE405P; 1 pri_cpe to Bell Canada, 1 CAS T1 to an access server (lucent), 2 CAS T1 to Adit600 FXS. I would be happy to help test HT with more advanced configurations; Is there anything specific I can do to help? Regards, Andrew
