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 On Sun, Apr 27, 2008 at 11:55 AM, bilal ghayyad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Steve; > > U mean the make config? > If that what u mean, so it is what I do. > > Regards > > > --- Steve Totaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > Bilal, > > > > I do not use the init scripts.
