[Asterisk-Users] Compiling Zaptel on Suse ES 9.0 and torisa module errors

[Steve Woolley]

I have in the past run the Red Hat/Fedora dists up until now, however,
for various reasons, we are hopping over to SUSE. I have performed a
minimal SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9.0 installation which uses a 2.6.5
kernel. After working out a few compile issues, the zaptel module
compiled correctly. The "make install" created a /etc/modprobe.d/zaptel
file which included the following:

	options torisa base=0xd0000
	alias char-major-196 torisa
	install tor2 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install tor2 && /sbin/ztcfg
	install torisa /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install torisa &&
/sbin/ztcfg
	install wcusb /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wcusb &&
/sbin/ztcfg
	install wcfxo /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wcfxo &&
/sbin/ztcfg
	install wcfxs /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wcfxs &&
/sbin/ztcfg
	install ztdynamic /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ztdynamic &&
/sbin/ztcfg
	install ztd-eth /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ztd-eth &&
/sbin/ztcfg
	install wct1xxp /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wct1xxp &&
/sbin/ztcfg
	install wct4xxp /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wct4xxp &&
/sbin/ztcfg

I then did a "make config" to create an rc script called zaptel. I made
the proper "Red Hat" -> SUSE conversions on the zaptel script and fired
it off. Everything went fine except the torisa module. I get the
following errors:

	FATAL: Error inserting torisa
(/lib/modules/2.6.5-7.108-smp/misc/torisa.ko): Input/output error
	FATAL: Error running install command for torisa

Perusing the newsgroups shows that this is somewhat of a common issue
and most recommend commenting the torisa (Old Tormenta boards). 

1) I can certainly comment this out, but would rather make things right.
Is Suse, 2.6 kernel, hardware or some other entity causing the problems
with torisa?

2) If I comment out the:
	install torisa /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install torisa &&
/sbin/ztcfg

   Should I also comment out the:
	options torisa base=0xd0000
	alias char-major-196 torisa

3) Is this correct way to comment these out to comment them out of the
/etc/modules.d/zaptel , the /etc/init.d/zaptel, or both?


Thanks for any insight.
