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!

Assuming that udev isn't running, you may need to hand create the following
special files:

crw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 196, 254 Mar 31 12:45 channel
crw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 196,   0 Mar 31 12:45 ctl
crw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 196, 255 Mar 31 12:45 pseudo
crw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 196, 253 Mar 31 12:45 timer

i.e.

mknod /dev/dahdi/channel c 196 254
mknod /dev/dahdi/ctl c 196 0
mknod /dev/dahdi/pseudo 196 255
mknod /dev/dahdi/timer 196 253
