I have a system I use for testing, runs fine under debian lenny, asterisk 1.4 and zaptel. I decided to try asterisknow 1.5 distribution. I had problems configuring this system initially under debian because of shared IRQ’s. I seem to have the same type of issues again I’m wondering how others have over come this.
I have got the card to come up on IRQ 7 unshared by playing with the bios settings. This however has not corrected my problems.

As you can see by the results the system sees the card, the drivers are loaded but no channels. Any tips on how to over come this would be appreciated.
