Summary:                    "Failed to open /dev/dahdi/transcode: No such file
or directory" after "asterisk -U asterisk -G asterisk -cvv"
Description: 
After compiling asterisk-1.6.0.1, libpri-1.4.7 and
dahdi-linux-complete-2.0.0+2.0.0 , I got in console (after asterisk -U
asterisk -G asterisk -cvv) :
 == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/codecs.conf':   == Found
[Nov 25 08:35:18] ERROR[25144]: codec_dahdi.c:399 find_transcoders: Failed
to open /dev/dahdi/transcode: No such file or directory

# ls /dev/dahdi
channel  ctl  pseudo  timer

I got the same message with 2.1.0-rc3.
Asterisk is configured with output of "make samples" except a single
edition in asterisk.conf to allow running asterisk as non-root.

Then the immediate solution to your issue is to add

noload => codec_dahdi.so

to /etc/asterisk/modules.conf

Since you do not have any DAHDI hardware.  On a similar related note, you
might want to comment out all the drivers in /etc/dahdi/modules.  If you
don't have the hardware, no need to load all those modules.  You should
just be left with dahdi_dummy.
