[Asterisk-Users] starting asterisk?

[Ken Godee]

I'm trying to figure out how to start *.....

Rh7.3,CVS,TE410P,TA750

If I just try the way the docs spell it out
"/usr/sbin/asterisk -vvvc" it fails......

==================================================================

If I modprobe -d wct4xxp and then start *, cb link comes up
asterisk starts and all seems well.....

(well, except for the.....

*CLI> Asterisk Ready.

Ok, so I'm missing something? Combed thru docs, couldn't find anything.
I take it that * autoload modules is not working in the order I need?
So how can I get around it? Something in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf
Do I just need to slip a "modprobe wct4xxp" in one of my rc or init.d 
files before firing up * ?
What is the best way to start * on boot up? inittab or init.d?

/etc/modules.conf
options torisa base=0xd0000
alias char-major-196 torisa
post-install wcfxs /sbin/ztcfg
post-install wcfxsusb /sbin/ztcfg
post-install torisa /sbin/ztcfg
post-install tor2 /sbin/ztcfg
post-install wcfxo /sbin/ztcfg
post-install wct1xxp /sbin/ztcfg
post-install wct4xxp /sbin/ztcfg

Thanks,
Ken
