Common Fixes for all cards
1.
Check to see if the X Window System (
e.g.
X.Org Server) is running
by entering the following:
# ps aux | grep X
If the X Window System is running, stop the application since it may
cause a conflict with Asterisk.
2.
Check to see if your PATA IDE hard drives are running with DMA
levels set. Advance user can perform an
hdparm
on your hard drive
interface.
Check the current mode using this command:
hdparm -vi /dev/[IDE Device]
Use this command to set the drives into UDMA2 mode:
hdparm -d 1 -X udma2 -c 3 /dev/[IDE Device]
If you are still having problems, contact your reseller from which the
card was purchased, or Digium Technical Support at 1.256.428.6161.
Use hdparm with caution as the man page states that hard drive
corruption can occur when using incorrect settings. Please
review the man page for hdparm and make sure you understand
the risks before using this tool.
