Hi list, I am still attempting to start an asterisk 1.0.6 fresh installation. There are some problems with the zap channel: == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf': Found Mar 13 10:49:38 WARNING[5278]: chan_zap.c:763 zt_open: Unable to open '/ dev/zap/channel': No such file or directory Mar 13 10:49:38 ERROR[5278]: chan_zap.c:6208 mkintf: Unable to open channel 4: No such file or directory here = 0, tmp->channel = 4, channel = 4 Mar 13 10:49:38 ERROR[5278]: chan_zap.c:9155 setup_zap: Unable to register channel '4' Mar 13 10:49:38 WARNING[5278]: loader.c:345 ast_load_resource: chan_zap.so: load_module failed, returning -1 == Unregistered channel type 'Tor' == Unregistered channel type 'Zap' Mar 13 10:49:38 WARNING[5278]: loader.c:440 load_modules: Loading module chan_zap.so failed! aaberga@epsilon-stargate:~> Ouch ... error while writing audio data: : Broken pipe I reduced the sample zapata.conf file to: [channels] signalling = fxs_ks context = incoming channel => 4 Everything else is commented out. The zaptel.conf file is as simple as the first one; just this: loadzone = us defaultzone = us fxsks = 1-2 fxoks = 4 I have circulated the channel that I try to activate (1,2 are fxs modules in a TDM400 board; 4 is a fxo module of the same board), but nothing changes. So I have no real clue of any more steps that I am missing (the modprobe with zaptel, wcfxs and wcfxo did run silently). I even restarted the machine after modprobing to let asterisk try to get the kernel modules by itself (I do not know if this idea has any meaning). Thanks in advance Aldo
