I am running Asterisk@home on one of my systems here. It uses Centos 4.2. It does NOT have a GUI interface. Command line only at console or via SSH (yeah, I know that I was working on another server to get GUI tools working through SSH, but I am NOT going to muck with AAH build).
yum update is potentially dangerous, when it replaces the kernel. You can loose all of your Zaptel driver setups and have to rebuild them. This is a given, the first time you install AAH and run yum update....
Now at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk%40Home+Handbook+Wiki+Chapter+3
I was instructed to use NETCONFIG to setup up my network information. Well it did for eth0, but not for eth1.
So question #1 is how to use netconfig to setup eth1 without messing with eth0.
#2) NETCONFIG did not setup my hostname and domain. I had to go in with VI to resolv.conf and sysconfig/network. Is there a tool for this?
#3) How do I figure out which board is which. Other than looking at the MAC address and using PCISNIFFER to then relate that to one of the boards (well, one 'builtin'). Also how do I determine which board is using which IRQ.
#4) Finally how can I change which IRQ a board is using. As one of the boards is using the same IRQ as one of my Zaptel clone cards (Tigerjet chips according to PCISNIFFER).
#4 leads into the 'more'.
This system has TWO FXO clone cards. One is working in AAH, the other AMP does not see. Asterisk CLI flags one as "alarm" RED. and does not report the IRQ of either board.
#5) How do I figure Centos has configured these two cards, and what IRQs are used and maybe how to change the IRQs.
#6) Then how to get genzaptelconf to properly configure this card.
Barrs Law of Recursive futility If you're smart enough to use one of these.... .....you can probably manage without one!

Well I started in on this and look at the two files before any changes:
cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=65.84.78.218 NETMASK=255.255.255.248 GATEWAY=65.84.78.217
cat ifcfg-eth1

Why does eth1 have HWADDR and TYPE whereas eth0 does not?
Seems I should understand this before making changes!

Here is the output of that lapci command. You will see that the first ethernet and last Tiger Jet are both on IRQ5.

---- HWADDR not necessary but does sort of 'pin' down which card when the cards use the same kernel module. You can remove the HWADDR entry altogether.
ONBOOT=no #might want to change that
I heavily recommend removing 'GATEWAY' addresses from ifcfg files and putting them directly into /etc/sysconfig/network when you have multiple adaptors. ----

Learned a little at:
http://www.scyld.com/pci_irq.html
So I found that I have:
cat interrupts CPU0 0: 103391 XT-PIC timer 1: 3 XT-PIC i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 5: 68774 XT-PIC wcfxo, eth0 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 9: 0 XT-PIC acpi 10: 0 XT-PIC Intel 82801BA-ICH2 11: 68594 XT-PIC uhci_hcd, wcfxo 12: 66 XT-PIC i8042 14: 4174 XT-PIC ide0 15: 893 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 ERR: 0
I turned off the internal serials on 3&4 and the Parallel on 7, buy the BIOS only allows me 5,10,&11 for these PCI devices :(
One ethernet and one FXO share 5, and the USB and the other FXO share 11
Since these are serial devices I am going to ASSUME that they will be serviced well enough.
Since I am not using my USB, I will put my main subnet on the internal ethernet and main phone on the one using irq11...
