Zaptel load failure

We just replaced the Digium TDM card in our system with an identical card, no other changes were made; however, on reboot (or manually) Asterisk will no longer load.

My load sequence is

modprobe wctdm
no problems

ztcfg -vv
again, no problems

Ouch … error while writing audio data: : Broken pipe


I’m not worried about the broken sql, we hadn’t set that up right yet.

The broken audio pipe I believe results from mpg123 starting but not having asterisk to attach to.

neither ztcfg or zttool report any problems.

Any ideas on getting past this problem?

Thanks in advance.
