asterisk users - Jan 2009 - DAHDI trouble (again) Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl'

Because of a kernel upgrade i needed to recompile DAHDI. Dahdi 2.0.0 with 
2.0.1 was working ok, after the reboot and compile it doesn't start 
anymore.

Firstly it tells me it is using /etc/zaptel.conf which is deprecated, if i 
remove that file it complains that this file is missing.....

Secondly i get an error about a missing dev file which refers to zap 
(which seems strange to me because i use DAHDI).

Where did i go wrong?  The box is Centos 4 with kernel 2.6.9-78.0.13.ELsmp

  grep ztcfg /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d/*

Remove those lines. They are pointless.

Besides Tzafrir's advice, have you made sure that the udev rules for 
creating the /dev/zap/* devices are in /etc/udev/rules.d and are correct?
