Asterisk 1.4.21.2 and 1.4.22 can not startup(Elastix 1.3)

Aster the installation of Elastix 1.3(Elastix-1.3-stable-29sep2008.iso), I can find the opvxa1200 module works fine. But the asterisk can not startup at all because of zaptel configuration. I did not change any configuration about zaptel.conf / zapata.conf / zapata-channels.conf.

Also I ever tried to install CentOS 5.1 and zaptel-1.4.12.1(with opvxa1200 patch) and asterisk 1.4.21.2 / 1.4.22. But the error status are the same with install Elastix 1.3 directly. I can't startup the command "asterisk -vvvvvgc".

Is it possible the A800P broken or any reason about the card?

hello:
if you want to try, please try centos-5.0+zaptel-1.4.11 and asterisk-1.4.21.

Dear James,
I have test a lot of versions of asterisk and zaptel. As I know, trixbox 2.6 and Elastix 1.3 are all supported this card. But I can't startup because of the reason:

3. If you need Zaptel services, you must correctly configure Zaptel.

My question is that asteisk can not startup but zaptel is ok.

I want to make sure is it hardware(A800p) broken? I have no another A800p to test it. I need your help to make sure my zaptel.conf and another zaptel related configuration files are all correct. And I can almost confirm hardware does not work. If it is bad, I can return it to the sales and ask for a new one. If it is good, why do I get such messages?

I think your hardware(A800P) is ok.

Your pc looks based on VIA cpu, I do not know the elastix support this m/b or not,

so could you install zaptel-1.4.11 source code and build the zaptel again?

No, it is not VIA cpu. It is PIII CPU.

I will try to rebuild zaptel with opvxa1200 patch and let you know the status. The IRQ and lsmod seems fine in this case.

Thank you, Mian.

After update zaptel to 1.4.11 and asterisk to 1.4.18.
And it seems work.

Best regards,
Charles
