[asterisk-users] problem starting asterisk, unable to load chan_zap

[Sebastian Reitenbach]

Hi all,

I am running asterisk 1.2.18, zaptel 1.2.18, libpri 1.2.4. on a suse 10.2, 
running kernel 2.6.18.2-34-default.

The zaptel drivers are loaded on boot via /etc/init.d/zaptel, but Asterisk 
is unable to start. It ends with the following message:
 [chan_zap.so] => (Zapata Telephony w/PRI)

I checked that the module wcte11xp is loaded before I start asterisk. I can 
fix the problem when I do: 
rmmod wcte11xp && modprobe wcte11xp
after that rmmod && modprobe asterisk works. The same happens, on a similar 
machine, the only difference is that I need to load the wcte12xp driver, 
because of an other card.

Anybody knows what my problem is?

kind regards
Sebastian
