asterisk users - Apr 2006 - Dreadful results from zttest with TE210P and Dell 2850?

Hi list!

I'm trying to setup a new * server with a TE210P in a Dell 2850 box. I'm
using zaptel version 1.2.5, the linux flavour I'm using is CentOS 4.

In a previous thread I read about the results I should expect from 
zttest. On my home box (using the crappy Asus A7V600) I got really bad 
results from zttest (just over 97.5) but I know that this motherboard just 
sucks.

To my (huge) disappointment however the results from zttest are equally as 
bad as from my home box??  (just over 97.5)

lspci -vb  reveals that the card is sharing IRQ 3 with the second Gbit LAN 
controller.


The box is only idling I'm the only user shh'ing into it.

Does anyone have a clue why the results from zttest are this horrible?

Looking at the wiki I don't even need to try and put the box into 
production with such results.....

Thanks!

Using an SMP kernel will fix the interrupt sharing, you could also disable 
hyperthreading and set runlevel 3.  FWIW I almost exclusively use Poweredge 
850 for my * servers with a third party sata raid controller if raid is 
required.  Never had any problems.
