[asterisk-users] Weird problem in wctdm24xxp driver

[Paradise Dove]

Hi,

I'm running FC3 with kernel 2.6.11.
All the binary files and zaptel kernel modules is not available to system at
boot time.
They are extracted in a ram disk at system startup and then zaptel modules
are loaded manually and so on.
I have no problem with this boot routine and i've been tested all digium
cards (expect tdm24) and they work fine till now.

The problem appeared when i purchased the new TDM2400 card. after installing
this new card system stopped on modprobe wctdm24xxp ot boot time! (randomly
sleeping on "Resetting the modules.." / "During Resetting the modules..."
and sometimes "After resetting the modules...) but no step further.
Nothing happened till i killed modprobe manually so no modules detected on
tdm24. (Port 1: Not Installed, ....)
My motherboard is a brand new Intel 3010 chipset from supermicro with
3.3Vpci slots. i also changed the motherboard to Intel 7230 chipset
with 5V slot
but nothing changed. I also switched back to zaptel-1.2.13 and removed the
modules from the board and re-inserted them as digium support recommended,
but nothing changed. I also changed to 2.6.12 kernel but still the same
problem.

Finally i changed the system startup routine and copied all extracted zaptel
files to hard-disk into the standard location in kernel dirs and found that
now system starts-up with no problem and detects TDM24 at boot time!!!

it seemed that the problem is that the wctdm24xxp needs to be detected at
boot time by the kernel.
But now the problem is that when i rmmod the wctdm24xxp module and modprobe
it again still system doesn't detect it and sleeps on modprobe utill i kill
it.

i dont have such a problem with all other cards from digium.
i think this is a weird problem with wctdm24xxp driver.

thanks,
p. dove
