Powerful enough to run a small asterisk server though not sure if the drop down in size from a mini-atx or a micro-atx but I'm sure someone will try. http://www.geek.com/first-look-via-px10000-pico-itx-motherboard Regards, Dean Collins Cognation Pty Ltd dean at cognation.net <mailto:dean at cognation.net> +1-212-203-4357 Ph +61-2-9016-5642 (Sydney in-dial). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm sure it will run linux+asterisk just fine with a 1GHz Via C7 processor as there are many platforms out there using that combination (or the Via C3) The issue that I've had (and I guess other small developers) is putting a motherboard in a "pretty" case so that it doesn't look like a PC when you turn it round... The other thing is that some people just don't believe it - I did a demo for someone with my "usual" box - pizza box style with a micro ATX board (VIA C3, 1GHz, fanless) and they couldn't believe it would handle the 35 extensions their current box handles - which takes up 6U of a rack. (My unit would have been in a 2U rack case for them, but they were still very skeptical!) Gordon

I never managed to find the root cause - there's 1 box here that's rock solid and two others that keep locking up (only powercycle will clear) - one of the boxes locks up on average once per day. I'm not the only person having lockups on C7 systems either - there's chats on the VIA Linux forum about this. I'm now using Micro-ATX systems with Dual Core Athlons (the EE versions) - it ends up the same price to build as the Mini-ITX systems but has more horsepower and is better supported in Linux. VIA C3 & C7 systems have been known to have DMA-related issues for some time. Stirk, Lamont & Associates Ltd.

(or not as the case is!)I am also using custom kernels with only the drivers needed built in and everything in the BIOS not required is disabled. The problems I've don't appear to be temperature or load related - I've had machines lock up when they're basically idle (just running basic init/syslog/daemons with no network or ISDN traffic). Now maybe in my situation it could be related to mISDN drivers as I only tested these motherboards with Digium B410P cards but there are people on the VIA Arena forums who aren't using Asterisk at all and have had random lockups on both Jetway and VIA C7 boards.

I've spent considerable time in the past 2-3 months trying to nail down the source of these lockups and have had no success. As I mentioned in a reply to Gordon last posting I have not tried C3 based systems so I can't comment on them. I'd be glad to exchange kernel config files with you for Jetway C7 systems as I really would like to the bottom of this - I have 3 J7F2 motherboards here that are useless to me unless I can find a solution. Would you be willing to email me the current kernel ".config" file you use for C7 boards? In the past I have exchanged kernel configs with various people on the VIA Arena forums in an attempt to find the root cause but didn't see any obvious problem. Thanks in advance.
