asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Assigning a higher irq to a digium card

Hi,

I have on my dual opteron (64 bit mode, linux) the problem, that
sometimes read errors (unknown error 500) occur.

This was already discussed on some asterisk list, and the solution
seems to be to put the digium card on the highest interrupt level.

Unfortunately I don't know howto. Applying an irq parameter when
loading the module don't work:
wct4xxp: Unknown parameter `irq'

Within the bios menu I can't find any appropriate mean.
But I assume, that there is a operating system mean, in order
to assign the digium card another interrupt.


Thanks for any hints!
Roger.

It depends on the board/bios.

This might be usefull. The language is german, but since you are
using a ".de" mail address it should be no problem.
