[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on SMP machine with ztdummy working ?

[Vamsi Pottangi]

Hi All,

Was any Asterisk installation on SMP machine successful. Were you able
to get ztdummt working on it. If so please let me know which linux
favour you are using and any important steps to follow.
I have a Dell Power edge 2800 and wanted to try asterisk on it and
also use meetme. Which Linux flavour should I go for and the timing
source. I don't have a zaptel interface so wanted to use ztdummy.
Please guide me.  I tried with FC3 as mentioned in below mail but
loading of zap module fails saying resource busy.

Thanks,
~Vamsi

Hi,

I'm trying to install asterisk on Dell power edge 2800 running Fedora core 3.
I don't have have any zaptel cards, so trying to use ztdummy.
/dev/zap is successfuly created... but I see some problems while
starting asterisk ... chan_zap fails to load.
Can somebody please help me in overcoming this problem.
I was able to run asterisk on other normal PCs running Fedora core 3.
Is this something to do with SMP ? I compile zaptel using the link
to smp source code only.
