dahdi_dummy and Asterisk synchronising

Hello,

This has been driving mad setting up this dahdi stuff, didn’t help that half way through configuring zap I realised there had been the name change!

Anyway I have everything installed, I run the dahdi_test and that works fine, Asterisk ‘dahdi show channels’ and ‘dahli show status’ works but during a call when I would expect something to happen nothing seems to change. Now I’m assuming I have something missing in a conf file but I’m really stuck, and documentation is so difficult to piece together! Can anyone suggest some things to try.

Thanks

Update:

Looks like dahdi has trouble with old kernels as in 2.6.09 is too old, and also Software Raid might not help either. Problems can be seen when running a dahdi_test because the tick should be a consistent 99%, but it was dropping at times to 94% (bad). So going to try on a new machine with no Software Raid.
