[Jul 24 19:07:32] ERROR[31226]: asterisk.c:3090 main: Asterisk has detected a problem with your Zaptel configuration and will shutdown for your protection. You have options:
1. You only have to compile Zaptel support into Asterisk if you need it. One option is to recompile without Zaptel support.
2. You only have to load Zaptel drivers if you want to take advantage of Zaptel services. One option is to unload Zaptel modules if you don't need them.
3. If you need Zaptel services, you must correctly configure Zaptel.


can you please tell me why asterisk is not starting?

i finnaly manage this problem but ofcourse i have another one now.
but first of all:

It seems asterisk gives this error ( "Asterisk has detected a problem with your Zaptel configuration" ) when is trying to take the clock from /dev/zap/timer but this doesn't work correctly.
In order to see if the timer is working or not, please check if you have ztdummy module installed and run zttest. If zttest doen't show you anything it seems the ztdummy module has something wrong.

After a lot of readings it seems the kernel timer should be put to 1000(which is stupid because this timer is usually for desktop not for servers).
So recompile your kernel and put CONFIG_HZ_1000=y and CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y
after that, of course you ztdummy will not compile :lol
for this there is patch ( http://www.mail-archive.com/svn- ... m.com/msg34082.html ) .. apply it and compile again the zaptel

after this load zaptel, load ztdummy and after that opvxg4xx.



ok..so far so good.
now i managed to start asterisk and everthing looks ok to me.
