On my Trixbox setup, I was able to fix the hangup problem on a Wildcard TDM400p card by adding the following lines on zapata.conf:

busydetect=yes
busycount=4

Also, you might want to try other suggestions from the article Resolving Hangup Detection Problems fxo,tdm and voicemail in Asterisk Guru.

Ok. So I am playing around with Trixbox lately. I got a Asus P5B-VM board, 8 Gigs of memory, 2 Sata hard drives, and a Jmicron Controller. A pretty good setup for a VOIP system. But I'm having a strange problem. First, the installation asks for driver disk. I use the all-generic-ide=1 option and the installation continues.But, it proceeds with the Centos 4 install only!

I've seen on different forums that the Jmicron Controller is causing the problem. Trixbox still doesn't have a driver for such controller. Jmicron only supports 2.6.18 kernels. Too bad for me. Guess we'll have to try a different board.

I'll keep you posted!
