asterisk users - Apr 2005 - Changing IRQ's on TDM

Hi all,

I've found that a TDM400P card in our * box is sharing IRQ's with two
other
devices.  The server doesn't support assigning IRQ's through the BIOS
and the
pig only has three PCI slots, so swapping cards between slots hasn't fixed
the
problem (it just ends up sharing IRQ's with other devices).

Any ideas on how we can force the TDM to use a certain IRQ?  Plenty of free
IRQ's in the box, BIOS just doesn't want to use them.

Sounds like its time to swap motherboards. :(

Is the APIC and IO-APIC enabled?  Send us 'cat /proc/interrupts' and 
your /var/log/boot.msg (or your distro's equivalent bootup log).
