What do you see listed in 'dmesg'? 

It should look something like:
Module 0: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Module 1: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Module 2: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
Module 3: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode)
(The above example is from a TDM with four fxo modules installed.)

What do you see listed in 'ztcfg -vv'?

It should look something like:
Channel 01: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 01)
Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)
Channel 03: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 03)
Channel 04: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 04)
(Again, the above is from a TDM with four fxo modules, each configured
for Kewlstart, not loopstart.)

If you're not seeing entries similar to the above, I'd have to guess
that changes made to /etc/zaptel.conf and /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
are probably out of sync. (Meaning changes have been made to one or
the other without restarting asterisk AND zaptel.)
