ERROR[4013] asterisk.c: Asterisk has detected a problem with your Zaptel configuration and will shutdown for your protection. You have options:

1. You only have to compile Zaptel support into Asterisk if you need it. One option is to recompile without Zaptel support.

2. You only have to load Zaptel drivers if you want to take advantage of Zaptel services. One option is to unload zaptel modules if you don’t need them.

Can’t do either… I have zaptel cards…

I’m using Yeastar TDM800 PCI cards (2 of them)  
Zaptel version 1.4.10.1 (with yeastar patch for their ystd8xx driver)  
Asterisk version 1.4.20

Zaptel.conf

# Zaptel Configuration File

# This file is parsed by the Zaptel Configurator, ztcfg

# It must be in the module loading order

# Global data

loadzone = us

Zapata.conf  
default besides…  
busydetect=yes  
signalling=fxs\_ks

zapata-channels.conf - only thing changed from default generated is context=from-zaptel…

signalling=fxs\_ks  
callerid=asreceived  
group=0  
context=from-zaptel  
channel =\> 1  
context=default

Asterisk is crashing randomly, and works fine otherwise…  
When I do a restart it says it can’t find /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid  
but its there and owned by asterisk.
