Summary:                    DAHDI Module Fails to Load
Description: 
dahdi-linux 2.1.0.4 compiles and installs correctly, but when the init
script tries to load the module I see the following error:

-bash-3.2# /etc/init.d/dahdi start
Loading DAHDI hardware modules:
  dahdi_dummy:  [  OK  ]

Error: missing /dev/dahdi!

Re: dmesg, the output is attached.

Re: udev, you're right, it's not running (ELDK apparently disables it by
default). I tried creating the special files manually using the commands
you suggested but they fail, e.g.

-bash-3.2# mknod /dev/dahdi/channel c 196 254
mknod: `/dev/dahdi/channel': No such file or directory

Apparently it's failing because there is no /dev/dahdi directory on my
target - do I have to create that manually, as well? FWIW, "196 dahdi" is
listed in /proc/devices.

Thanks!
