[asterisk-users] DAHDI loading issue on Asterisk

[Josh Metzger]

Try starting Asterisk with the -f option.  It will NOT fork into the
background so you will see all messages on startup (including any that
might not end up in the log file).  Search for DAHDI errors which will
likely be there.

Also, if you configure everything and start DAHDI but don't start Asterisk
and run "dahdi_tool", is it showing you the circuits in an "OK" state?
