We have several 2900s in production as VoIP servers.. no lockups.
On every server I go into the BIOS and:

* Disable USB
* Disabled uneeded things like Parallel, Serial
* Put ETH0 on a seperate IRQ from the Digium card

And everything's fine.  Dell's do NOT have to share IRQs... go into your
BIOS and change them.

Hi,

I was planning on getting a Dell PowerEdge 2950 for our new Asterisk
configuration.
But while searching for documentation about it and/or reported issues, I
found this:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+hardware
WARNING - many Dell motherboards use the e1000 gigabit ethernet chipset,
which has been known to cause random locksup - if you plan on using a
Dell server, disable the onboard controller and purchase an addon
ethernet card.

Does anyone has real experience ?

Thanks,
