asterisk users - Jun 2010 - Minimum modules required to run VoIP and CDR

What is the minimal module set required to run SIP with database CDR logging.

I compiled Asterisk from source and I obviously compiled more stuff
than I needed for VoIP and CDR logging to postgres.

Sometimes there is a long gap between Asterisk starting and devices
being able to register. sip commands do not work, and they appear to
be the last items to be loaded.

Is there some way of checking the module dependencies and removing
those not needed?
Can the modules be interrogated to find out their dependencies,
probably starting with chan_sip and some cdr and database modules?

First you should check your DNS setup - it has been discussed many a 
times on this list.

The DNS setup itself is fine. The sip module just seems to take too
much time to load. My modules.conf uses autoload=yes and it seems that
many unwanted modules are loaded before sip itself starts.

You can stop asterisk and then start it again with "asterisk -cvvvvvv"
to
see a list of everything that starts up.  Take that list, tweak it, then
reconfigure your modules.conf to only load the ones you want.  Then start it
again using the same procedure, making note of any errors that pop up, and
resolve them.  It will take a little trial and error, but you should be able
to get it done.

Alternatively, unselect all the modules in menuselect, then just enable the 
modules as you need them.
