I am having a problem with a couple servers. They both have a Digium
TE110P and a TDM04B card. I have setup the system so the TE110P uses channels
1-31 and the TDM04B 32-35. The problem is that when we reboot the server
sometimes the TDM04B is recognized first and the TE110P second so the
configuration fails.
I do not know why this happens and to solve this I have to do a
"service
zaptel stop" and then start the service again so the cards will be loaded
in
the proper order. My /etc/sysconfig/zaptel file lists the TE110P module first.
Is there any way to make sure the cards always load in the same order?

Obviously, getting rid of the current method of starting the "DAHDI Service" (sounds obscene) Thanks, Steve Totaro

However, I couldn;t really point you in the direction of where to look without knowing what Linux distro you are using. If you were running Gentoo you'd find it in /etc/modules/autoload.d/kernel-2. [46] depending on your kernel version. On (I believe) all Debian-derivitates (ie. Ubuntu) you'd find it in /etc/modules Fedora/RHEL/CentOS I *THINK* its /etc/modules.autoload You could also have udev setup to do module autoloading What you might want to do is setup your box to not load the zaptel init script at bootup, reboot the box and see if you have the zaptel modules loaded (via lsmod), your goal will be to keep digging around your system to find out what is loading the modules and get it to stop, then re-setup the zaptel init script and it should load them in the proper order for you. If you watch the console output of your server booting and what loads just before/just after you see the zaptel stuff go by, it might give you some clues as to when the modules are being loaded which might help you track it down. -- Matt http://www.mattgwatson.ca
