Did you upgrade to V1.0, or is this a brand-new installation?

New install:
Do you have any digium cards on the machine? If not then that's probably 
why it's throwing up the 'Loading module chan_zap.so failed' error.

If you're going to run the * box without any of the digium cards then 
you need to add

noload => chan_zap.so

in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf

New install, have digium card:
Perhaps your box isn't recognizing the card due to an IRQ issue? run the 
"dmesg" command and make sure there's something in the output that shows 
your box recognizes the existence of the card.


Perhaps posting a bit more information about your setup might help.
