[Asterisk-Users] Cannot start asterisk - CAPI issues

[Jean-Michel Hiver]

Thanks for the tip! I'm still having a couple of quirks though...

Okay, I did that but then I had the exact error you describe below...

Well I do get that message, but I can modprobe capi, see it with lsmod 
and also see /dev/isdn and /dev/capi20 - so I *assume* the eicon diva 
card is sort-of-recognized (not sure though... I have zero experience 
with ISDN cards...)

I use the linux 2.6.7 kernel which came with the knoppix distro I've 
installed on the box. I have checked with make xconfig and the options 
for isdn support and capi support all seem to be there OK.

Thanks to the list I have managed to compile asterisk from CVS head 
yesterday and my current target is to be able to pick up the sip phone, 
dial an extension and hear a little music. Very little ambitions for now :-)

Anyway, any ideas on what might be wrong with this capi stuff? I suppose 
I could try and chuck the isdn card but I'll need it later...

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
