[Asterisk-Users] loading zaptel drivers automatically upon reboot

[Carlos Alperin]

Ok,

We got it.

I stop asterisk, then I reboot the machine.

However the lsmod reports zaptel loaded, there is no file at all on
/proc/zaptel.

Now, if I run service zaptel restart, I get:

[root at SIP2-MI proc]# service zaptel restart
Unloading zaptel hardware drivers:.
Removing zaptel module:                                    [  OK  ]

          23 WCT1/0/23 Clear
          24 WCT1/0/24 HDLCFCS

It means that for some reason, I need to delay more the load of zaptel on
booting, or force to stop & reload, before to load asterisk as a module.

How to change priority on the process. Do I need to define a custom pid?

Thanks,

Carlos Alperin

That's easy to test: before you restart zaptel, look at /proc/zaptel .
if /proc/zaptel exists, zaptel was loaded . if /proc/zaptel/1 exists and
reports those 24 channels, then wct1xxp has loaded and identified your
card.

Another possible reason: make sure that the zaptel init.d script runs
before the asterisk one. It needs to have a lower "start" number. Use
'chkconfig --list asterisk' and 'chkconfig --list zaptel' to verify
that.
