The motherboard has PCI slots with one divider with a smaller part away 
from the chasis.
Do you want to say that the ASUS A7N8X says it is PCI 2.2 but it is 
actually not????

I have the card installed on a MSI 865PE/G Neo2 board.
I found the motherboard manual / description (MSI 865PE/G) on the web 
(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=454): 


It says "Six 32-bit v2.3 Master PCI bus slots (support 3.3v/5v PCI bus 
interface)."

I got the hint to use cat /proc/pci |grep "PCI bridge"

The result is just:

   PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82865G/PE/P Processor to AGP Controller (rev 2).
   PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA/CA/DB/EB PCI Bridge (rev 194).
   PCI bridge: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21152 (rev 3).


I have compiled the modules and they are added into the 
/etc/modules.conf and  added  into /etc/modeprobe.conf.
When I restart asterisk with zapata.conf:
context=internal
signalling=fxo_ls
immediate=no
busydetect=no
echocancel=yes
callerid="Internal Line 1" <603>
channel => 1
 
Asterisk dies with unable to specify channel 1: No such device or address

When I try ztfg -vv     I get:
Zaptel Configuration
===============

Channel map:
0 channels configured.

lsmod shows:
wctdm
zaptel


/var/log/messages shows:

What can I do next?
