[Asterisk-bsd] Hello List :) New to Asterisk not new to FreeBSD

I had the same problem with 6.0. It panics the kernel.
Solution 1: get the tar from http://asterisk.org/ version 1.2.0. Only the Asterisk, and libpri.
Get the zaptel from svn: https://svn.pbxpress.com:1443/repos/zaptel-bsd
Username: svn   | password: svn

Make sure your system is clean (no previous zaptel/librpi !!!)
Build first libpri. <- gmake install also for include files
Then zaptel. <- make install also for include files (puts files under /boot/kernel)
Then asterisk  <- gmake

It works just fine except no callerid on the FXO port.

Solution 2:
FreeBSD 5.X make sure your system is clean no previous libpri or zaptel make deinstall especially libpri. (if there is libpri.1 the
new one will be libpri.1.0 and asterisk will link against the wrong one)
If you got them for 6.0 search your system for the libraries and kernel modules

cvsup to latest ports tree.
cd /usr/ports/net/asterisk
make
make install

And you should be up and running.

You can pre-install zaptel by:
cd /usr/ports/misc/zaptel
make 
make install

And make sure it installs the kernel modules!!!
And never hurt to try to manually load the modules with kldload and wathing the output.

And it works on both 6.0 and 5.4 for me.

If you are having trouble with the ports why don;t you just try the  
binary package.  guaranteed to work.

pkg_add -r asterisk
