[Asterisk-Users] /dev/zap* is not showing up (gentoo, portage, asterisk 1.0.8)

[Jachin Rupe]

hi there

I'm trying to get asterisk going on gentoo 2005.1

I'm just getting my feet wet so I thought I would just stick with the  
stable portage packages.  Right now that's asterisk 1.0.8

I emerge asterisk with the following make.conf file:
CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686"
CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
USE="-gtk -gnome -qt -kde -dvd alsa -cdr zaptel mmx mysql postgres  
vmdbpostgres devfs26 pri"

So portage installed zaptel, pri everything else I should need.

Portage put the udev rules for zaptel here /etc/udev/rules.d/10- 
zaptel.rules and it looks like this:
KERNEL="zapctl",        NAME="zap/ctl", MODE="0660", GROUP="dialout"
KERNEL="zaptimer",      NAME="zap/timer", MODE="0660", GROUP="dialout"
KERNEL="zapchannel",    NAME="zap/channel", MODE="0660", GROUP="dialout"
KERNEL="zappseudo",     NAME="zap/pseudo", MODE="0660", GROUP="dialout"
KERNEL="zap[0-9]*",     NAME="zap/%n", MODE="0660", GROUP="dialout"

Here's what an lspci looks like:

As you can see I have two X100P clones.

If I run  #/etc/init.d/zaptel start
* Starting zaptel ...
Notice: Configuration file is /etc/zaptel.conf
line 143: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ 
ctl'                                                               [ ok  
]


running ztcfg -vv give me a similar message:

Zaptel Configuration

Channel map:

Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02)

2 channels configured.

line 122: Unable to open master device '/dev/zap/ctl'


Sure enough... if I look in dev there's no /dev/zap

This is what my /etc/zaptel.conf looks like:
fxsks=1-2
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us

It seems as though there's some step I'm missing but after looking  
around for a while I have not been able to find it.

I'm wondering why /dev/zap isn't showing up?

I would be more than happy to supply any more information that I left  
out.

If I figure anything else out on my own I'll be sure to post it.

thanks.
