asterisk users - Apr 2012 - asterisk 1.4.39 and dahdi 2.6 on Ubuntu

Dears;

I see this at the /var/log/asterisk/messages:

[Apr 20 01:49:48] ERROR[1657] codec_dahdi.c: Failed to open
/dev/dahdi/transcode: No such file or directory


Again, I am installing asterisk and dahdi at Ubuntu (uname -a
Linux House 3.0.0-17-server #30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 22:15:30 UTC 2012 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

I do not know if you were talking about the messages logs or about someting
else?

Anyway, these are the logs that I see at the messages after running
/etc/init.d/asterisk restart:

If you aren't using a DAHDI transcoding card, then you don't need to 
load the codec_dahdi module in Asterisk. Since it was built, though, you 
clearly have DAHDI built and installed properly, and the Asterisk build 
process was aware of that.

All of that is perfectly normal. If you want that ERROR message to go 
away, add 'noload => codec_dahdi' to your /etc/asterisk/modules.conf
file.
