Thanks Kevin.

I made that entry and now there are no more dahdi errors in the log file.

Here is the command I used to install Asterisk.

    yum install asterisk16 asterisk16-configs asterisk16-voicemail

And here are some RPM queries

# rpm -qa | grep asterisk
asterisk-sounds-core-en-gsm-1.4.19-1_centos5
asterisk16-core-1.6.2.10-1_centos5
asterisk16-configs-1.6.2.10-1_centos5
asterisk16-dahdi-1.6.2.10-1_centos5
asterisk16-voicemail-1.6.2.10-1_centos5
asterisk16-doc-1.6.2.10-1_centos5
asterisk16-1.6.2.10-1_centos5

There are also these packages.

# rpm -qa | grep dahdi
kmod-dahdi-linux-2.3.0.1-1_centos5.2.6.18_194.8.1.el5
dahdi-firmware-tc400m-MR6.12-1_centos5
dahdi-firmware-oct6114-128-1.05.01-1_centos5
dahdi-firmware-2.0.2-1_centos5
asterisk16-dahdi-1.6.2.10-1_centos5
kmod-dahdi-linux-fwload-vpmadt032-2.3.0.1-1_centos5.2.6.18_194.8.1.el5
dahdi-firmware-oct6114-064-1.05.01-1_centos5
dahdi-firmware-hx8-2.06-1_centos5
dahdi-linux-2.3.0.1-1_centos5

There may be more but I haven't taken the time to figure out how to get 
"yum info" to work like it used to -- showing the source repo instead of 
just the current (installed) repo -- so some of these are probably not 
from the asterisk.org or digium.com repos.  There may be more that were 
installed as dependencies.
