Hi Matt, My RH9 box has never crashed although on some others running RH9 I've seen load spikes also. The only similar situation I vaguely remember from long ago was either related to using a T400P/E400P card on a motherboard with the incorrect pci slot voltage or to a power supply that couldn't cope with the extra load. Don't recall exactly anymore so could be wrong but maybe worth keeping in mind. I always do the following on a RH9 box: * export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 before you start asterisk. Alternatively you can build a plain vanilla 2.4.2x kernel from kernel.org and use that one * turn off all unnecessary cron jobs. updatedb can have quite a field day with eating up I/O and keeping disks pretty busy and iirc you may want to turn off the fam service also * turn off all unnecessary services and remove all unnecessary modules from /etc/modules.conf If you find the cause, please let us know. Good luck, Patrick _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
