ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 1: (yes modules loaded)

For some reason I keep getting ZT_CHANCONFIG failed even with the modules loaded. It’s even gotten to the point where asterisk won’t start anymore.

TDM04B: 4-port FXO bundle - Card I own

The problem is Asterisk is dying when it starts, and the card says ZT_CHANCONFIG faiiled, I went into the bios and turned on IRQ for that specific pci slot.

Asterisk should be running! But init script can’t kill it, it just dies. I think it has something to do with the card.cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 0: 345835 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 8 IO-APIC-edge i8042 7: 0 IO-APIC-edge parport0 9: 0 IO-APIC-level acpi 12: 93 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 1885 IO-APIC-edge ide0 15: 13 IO-APIC-edge ide1 16: 2500 IO-APIC-level eth0 17: 2 IO-APIC-level ohci1394, uhci_hcd:usb3 18: 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb4 19: 0 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd:usb1 20: 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb2 21: 0 IO-APIC-level Intel 82801DB-ICH4 NMI: 0 LOC: 345801 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 I don’t know if it’s because asterisk isn’t running but I used to have wctdm in there, I no longer see it in interrupts.

Please someone help, as far as I know this is all correct for a simple setup. I have no clue where to turn next >_>

OK I decided that the version in portage was a bit outdated so I compiled my own zaptel and asterisk, the latest versions.

I now do not get the ZT_CHANCONFIG error, I get:

ztcfg -vv

Zaptel Configuration
======================


Channel map:

Channel 01: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)
Channel 02: Clear channel (Default) (Slaves: 02)
Channel 03: Clear channel (Default) (Slaves: 03)
Channel 04: Clear channel (Default) (Slaves: 04)

4 channels configured.

Changing signalling on channel 1 from Unused to FXS Kewlstart
Changing signalling on channel 2 from Unused to Clear channel
Changing signalling on channel 3 from Unused to Clear channel
Changing signalling on channel 4 from Unused to Clear channel

But asterisk still isn’t starting, and if it is it’s dying soon after. Here is the output of /var/log/asterisk/messages

Any help that can be offered would be gladly appreciated.
