Move postponed!

Well unfortunately Comcast could not come through for me. I called a week or so ago to get my internet service moved to the new store location. They sent me the transfer form, i signed it and sent it back. At this point I thought I was all set, wrong. I played phone tag with a rep from comcast all week and when i finally got ahold of her she explained that I needed to actually disconnect service and sign papers on new service for the new location. She told me they don't transfer business lines, they disconnect and then setup new service. How long does this take? Yeah, not until next Friday... So, we had to postpone the move.

Saturday 21, 2007 should be the day.

Thanks!

Asterisk/Trixbox Intel 965 chipset + SATA, boo

So I ran into a little trouble with a new PBX I'm building.
I put together a nice system, P4 Prescott, 1gb DDR2, 160GB Sata, and a DG965RY motherboard from Intel.
I had thought I did my homework before ordering but apparently I had another motherboard in mind and ordered this one instead,,,, but I move on.....

This was the first motherboard I have had any issues loading linux with. I ran into issues with the chipset, ethernet and sata drives. The main issue is that when trying to load the OS, in this case I tried Centos 4 and Ubuntu 6.10, it would not recognize the Sata drive or the Ethernet drive. I searched the net up and down looking for answers and the only answers that I came up with was this motherboard and the 965 chipset do not play well with linux. After all my attempts I ended up getting another motherboard from Foxconn.

What happened when I plugged in the Foxconn board? Well, everything worked perfectly. I did not have to load any external drivers, or anything. It found all my hardware and went through the install without issues. Now I have asterisks up and running on a nice box for my customer. Now I just need to get the carrier setup so I can go through and configured all the trunks, extensions etc...

Just thought I would share a bit. Stay clear of the intel boards, esp the ones with this chipset.
Or if you had this issue and have a fix please email me and I will post it up.
