asterisk users - Oct 2008 - Unable to create channel of type 'DAHDI' (cause 0 - Unknown)

Does anyone know what this error message means?

Unable to create channel of type 'DAHDI' (cause 0 - Unknown)

I've upgraded to 1.6.0 with dahdi 2.0.

For some reason my outbound dahdi calls are not going through.
At some point, it starts to work, but I don't know what the
trigger is.  Out of the blue, outbound calls start to work.

I had been using asterisk-1.6-beta9 with zaptel without any
problems.

Thanks,

Jim

The reason for this is that 1.6.0 does not support dahdi. It was a  
mistake when it was listed as an included feature. The documentation  
for it has been removed in 1.6.0.1. If you need dahdi you need to go  
to 1.6.1.

This is documented in this changelog:
