Please clarify:

Fedore Core - build with preemption off or preemption on ?


Preemptable Kernel and Voluntary Kernel Preemption should both be set to off

The way you worded it, it's almost as if you're suggesting it with it
turned on?



Sorry that I was so unclear. Too much cold medcine I think :-)

Thanks!

Steve

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Zaptel module load errors under stock FedoraCore 2 (2.6.8-1.521 kernel )


Just a reminder, if you are using the stock fedora kernel I'd recommend rebuilding it without preemption turned off as I've experience kernel panics from the zaptel driver. Digium tech support agrees (or at least did a few weeks ago) that is was a problem.

Got it, that was it.  Thank you so much Adam.

For those searching, here's the solution:

vi /usr/src/linux-2.6/Makefile

Remove the word 'custom' from the version information.

If you've been following along at home, you'll need to

`make clean` in

the kernel source directory. Then, `make prepare-all`. Granted, `make clean` probably isn't really required, but I do it

too often to

avoid problems.

Then, go `make clean` in the zap directory, and `make

linux26`, `make

install`, and we're gold.

Thanks again for your help Adam.

Thank you, Adam. I think I see how to do that ( the

kernel Makefile

has that version information. So either I just change that and recompile zap, or I have to recompile the kernel AND zap.

As long as

it works, I'm happy ).

Question: I can force the zaptel module to load, but I

can't force

the wcfxo module. Would this indicate that it's not finding the hardware card, or would this module load regardless of the

hardware

in the machine?

Thank you again.

This appears to be a module version mismatch. Notice that the kernel is linux-2.6.8-1.521 but the modules are 2.6.8-1.521custom.
This means you need to remake your modules or your kernel to get them to match. Also, you should try rebuilding the kernel with
preemption turned off. It helps avoid a zaptel crash.

Hi folks, start to finish, this is what I did:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.521
make prepare-all
cd ..
wget http://www.asterisk.org/zaptel-1.0.0.tar.gz
tar xfsz zaptel-1.0.0.tar.gz
cd zaptel-1.0.0
less README
less README.Linux26 ( see, I really did RTFM ;) ) ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.521 /usr/src/linux-2.6 mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build /lib/modules/`uname


-r`/build.bak (

There was a preexisting build directory ) ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.521 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build make linux26 make install modprobe wcfxo

And this is what I get when I try to load the modules:
WARNING: Error inserting zaptel
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/misc/zaptel.ko): Invalid module format
WARNING: Error inserting zaptel

And this shows up in my /var/log/messages:
Nov 10 17:25:35 firewall kernel: zaptel: version magic '2.6.8-1.521custom 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3' should be

Me being me, and this being a test machine, I tried `modprobe -f wcfxo`, and this is what I got:
FATAL: Error inserting wcfxo
(/lib/modules/2.6.8-1.521/misc/wcfxo.ko): Invalid module format
FATAL: Error running install command for wcfxo


Now, as to what I am trying to do: I have a generic

intel 537 card

that I was hoping to use as a generic fxo(?). It works on Suse 9.1, but I am running into problems on this fc2 box. I

imagine if

I can just get the zaptel module to load without any

brute force,

I'd be ok.
Any help that can be offered I greatly apprecaite.
