Hi everybody !!

I’m little bit newie in this asterisk stuff, I installed a linux box (fedora 5) and after a lot of trouble to compile asterisk , zaptel , etc I got this when try to modprobe zaptel

FATAL: Module zaptel not found

and this trying to start zaptel:

/etc/init.d/zaptel start
Loading zaptel framework: FATAL: Module zaptel not found. [FAILED]
Waiting for zap to come online…Error: missing /dev/zap!

I was looking in lot of pages and tryed all sort of things but I still can’t get zaptel loading :cry: :cry: even I change the card (tdm400) from another box but until now nothing
BTW I try with zaptel-1.2.18 and zaptel-1.4.3

My system:

FC5 ‘uname -r’ 2.6.20-1.2319.fc5smp
asterisk-1.4.4
last time use zaptel-1.2.18
TDM400 card

Thanks for the help and forgive my english, I suspect that gonna be a stupid configuration error :blush: :blush:

See ya

hello, maybe you have to remove zaptel and recompile again and reboot your system. it should not be a problem, if you compile it successfully.
good luck!

Hi zhu8080

Yesterday I rebuild the system, install the kernell-dev package without upgrade FC5 just download an install the package after that I create the symblink to the sources and zaptel compiles without problem but when I tryed to modprobe zaptel i got this:

I look in another page that I must check in dmesg if the card is detected by the system looking in the dmseg log file for something like this:

[code]Example:

  • Corporation: Unknown device 0314 (rev 01)
  • Tiger Jet Network Inc. Tiger3XX Modem/ISDN interface
  • Network controller: Jens Scoenfeld[/code]

but in the log cannot foud something like that just this:

I don’t know if the card it’s not recognized by linux :blush: it’s installed in a Intel generic server in a raise pci card you know to put it horizontally maybe this could be the problem I don’t know :cry:

Any help will be appreciated

Hi
It looks as if you are running an smp kernel but have zaptel installers as UP.

what directories are in /lib/modules/ ?

It maybe that you have the wron devel package installed.

should be 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 and 2.6.20-1.2319.fc5smp

when the box boots and you get a grub screen use the 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 option

Hi ianplain

I upgrade the kernel to the version 2.6.20-1.2319.fc5 and reboot the system to load the new kernel, right now in the /lib/modules folder I have this subfolders (I also update kernel-smp after your reply)

drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 21 03:47 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 21 02:15 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 21 18:23 2.6.20-1.2319.fc5 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 21 18:40 2.6.20-1.2319.fc5smp

Now I look at the /lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2319.fc5smp folder I got this:

[code]lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Jun 21 18:40 build -> …/…/…/usr/src/kernels/2.6.20-1.2319.fc5-smp-i686

the first is a symb link that seems don’t work (appears in red) :confused: do you have any idea where this symb link should be pointed ??

Thanks again

Link kernel sources to this kernels build directory so any modules being built will be built against the correct sources. Example:

Asterisk looks for sources in the right place; however Fedora seems to put them in their own unique area. So we need to link to the proper place.

Hope it helps some.

Hi skin256

I already do that, that was my fisrt problem becasue zaptel could’t find the sources and stop the make command, after I update ther kernel I also update the symb link to the sources and edit the wcusb.c and xpp/xpp_usb.c files in the “owner” line (change 16 to 20) in order to compile zaptel it compile without problems I think at least it don’t stop :blush: but I think I miss something maybe the symb link is wrong o something else dunno :cry:

My /usr/src/ folder:

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 21 19:22 kernels drwxr-xr-x 2 1000 1000 4096 Jun 21 02:43 libpri-1.4.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Jun 21 18:10 linux -> kernels/2.6.20-1.2319.fc5-i586/ drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jun 21 01:17 redhat drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 12288 Jun 21 18:23 zaptel-1.4.3

Thanks again

Ok I found something new (I think) :blush:

I forgot to say that my server have 2 processors so I thik I need use the 2.6.20-1.2319.fc5smp kernell (correct me if I’m wrong) :blush: after rebbot the server and start linux with that kernell I uname -r and the asnwer is

2.6.20-1.2319.fc5smp

The I go to the zaptel folder and make clean and make again by the way my /lib/modules/ have the folders:

drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 21 03:47 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 21 02:15 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun 21 21:43 2.6.20-1.2319.fc5 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jun 22 18:44 2.6.20-1.2319.fc5smp drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 22 00:33 2.6.20-1.2319.fc5.stk16smp

But I think something is wrong because when I make zaptel it create the “misc” folder with the modules in

instead of

If this could be the problem somebody knows how to fix it ??

Thanks
