HELP! DAHDI missed interrupt every 15 minutes!

Hello Everyone,

I have been trying to track down a problem with my TDM2400p card for a few weeks now. Ive gotten very close, but im still unable to find a solution.

I have found in the /var/log/messages log that every 15 minutes and 4 seconds, something causes causes a missed interrupt in the wctdm24xxp driver.

Nov 15 11:33:52 localhost kernel: wctdm24xxp 0000:03:03.0: Missed interrupt. Increasing latency to 15 ms in order to compensate.
Nov 15 11:48:47 localhost kernel: wctdm24xxp 0000:03:03.0: Missed interrupt. Increasing latency to 21 ms in order to compensate.
Nov 15 12:03:43 localhost kernel: wctdm24xxp 0000:03:03.0: ERROR: Unable to service card within 25 ms and unable to further increase latency.

The car is on acpi interrupt #72. This was a battle to get it this low. It was originally on 209.

For simple testing I stopped all cron jobs temporarily with service crond stop.

Here is the output of dahdi_test:

You can see the 1 dip at the end of 96.290. This was with crond off.

I am running the 64 bit distro. Version Stable-1.1010.210.62

Does anybody have any idea what could be running everything 15 minutes that would cause this?
