[Asterisk-Users] Eicon Diva - problems building new v3 melware driver

Tue May 16 04:45:17 MST 2006

Hi Armin!

After make install I'm able to run the config script. I configured all 4 
ports of the card and saved the configuration.

After that:
...
Load Diva XDI  driver ... OK
Check for saved MAINT debug/trace buffer ... idle
Write Diva configuration to CFGLib ... succeeded
Check Diva configuration ... succeeded, adapter not loaded

Here, "adapter not loaded" frightens me.

Nevertheless I tried to activate the config:
# /usr/lib/divas/divas_cfg.rc
Update CFGLib information ... failed

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   DIVA CONFIGURATION: CFGLib DRIVER LOAD FAILED
                        PLEASE CHECK SYSTEM INSTALLATION
                        (kernel version, missing files)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVAS4LINUX SHUTDOWN OK.

regards
klaus
