Hi Steve;
The problem related to version zaptel 1.4.10.
I just discover that it might be related to init
script because every thing running on the same machine
if I used svn to get the source and compile it, but
ofcourse I will not get the zaptel 1.4.10 version
using svn (maybe it depends on the commands I used to
get it).
Now, if after that, I get zaptel 1.4.10 and compiled
it, then the driver will be loaded also fine when
machine booted and no error will appear while booting.
This is maybe because the init script was fine with
the version I downloadedusing svn (which is not
1.4.10), and it look like the init script that coming
with 1.4.10 is not good or maybe for my environment is
not good.
The idea that, existed init script will not be
overwrite with new init script, or maybe new versions
missing to do something that old vesions do it .. I am
not able to know.
About the using for the /etc/rc.local: this is new for
me, so for that I would like to know that based on
what u decided to add the below? How I can do it for
each card and so on? From where I can get data on how
to do it? Also, why u used rc.local?
Last thing: Any advise about the reason the init.d is
failing sometimes, and if it is related to
safe_asterisk or to something else?
Regards
Bilal
-------------------------
Bilal,
I do not use "make config".
I manually enter whatever startup sequence is required
to load drivers
and start asterisk in /etc/rc.local. Below is an
example of an
rc.local for a machine running a with a quad port BRI
card, and a quad
port analog Sangoma card (4FXO). I am not sure if
what I do is
considered "best practice" but it works for me and I
know just where
to look if there are issues. Maybe someone else can
chime in if there
are any reasons why "make config" is superior to my
method.
/etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other
init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if
you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
exec 2>>/tmp/boot.log
exec >&2
echo "================= starting to boot: `date`
================="
set -x
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
/sbin/modprobe qozap
/usr/sbin/wanrouter start
/sbin/ztcfg -vv
/usr/sbin/fxotune -s
/usr/sbin/safe_asterisk
Thanks,
Steve Totaro
