You should double check what you are reporting.  I deliberately
reversed the zaptel settings on my box and got this:

[root at b2 src]# modprobe wctdm
ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 25: Invalid argument (22)
Did you forget that FXS interfaces are configured with FXO signalling
and that FXO interfaces use FXS signalling?
/lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.1.EL/misc/wctdm.o: post-install wctdm failed

Look familiar?

Then I corrected my zaptel.conf and got this:

[root at b2 src]# modprobe wctdm
[root at b2 src]# Jun 22 15:14:14 b2 kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device
01:0a.0

America)

Everything works.

Your system is telling you that you have nothing in position 1 and 2, and
red modules in position 3 and 4:

Jun 21 19:06:16 darthvaden kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 00:1f.5

TDM400P REV E/F (4 modules)

Try changing your zaptel.conf to:

fxoks=1,2 
fxsks=3,4 

You should install your green modules in position 1 and 2.

Position 1 is closest to the connectors.  Be  sure of the following:

p1 - green (closest to the connectors)
p2 - green
p3 - red
p4 - red

If you still have problems after double checking everything you may need to get 
help from the mfr or distributor.  I had 2 RMAs on a recent order.
