I believe trixbox 2.8 uses dahdi instead of zaptel, but I'm not certain what all has been renamed.

I've just finished a fresh install of trixbox 2.8.0.2. I'm trying to configure an OpenVox A400P card.

zaptel_hardware shows me the card:
zaptel_hardware
pci:0000:05:04.0 wctdm- e159:0001 Wildcard TDM400P REV E/F

But it looks like the modules are missing:
modprobe zaptel and modprobe dahdi both fail, with "Module not found"

uname -a shows me
Linux trixbox1.localdomain 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 #1 SMP Wed Nov 12 09:30:27 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

And a quick locate shows me the zaptel drivers are in /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.10.el5
[trixbox1.localdomain ~]# locate zap | grep modules
/lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.10.el5/extra/zaptel

Is there a reason the modules for 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 are not installed? Am I making a mistake? Also, I cannot find any dahdi files on the system at all. I thought trixbox 2.8 used dahdi.

Why don't you just run the setup-pstn script instead of trying to show us how smart you are?

If you want to see the dahdi tools type 'dahdi' from the shell and press the tab key twice.

dahdi[tab][tab] gives nothing. There are no files that begin with dahdi.

"locate dahdi" only reveals two files:
[trixbox1.localdomain zaptel]# locate dahdi
/etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf.template
/usr/src/tbm-pbxconfig-5.5.1/amp_conf/astetc/chan_dahdi.conf.template

The results from setup-pstn are as folows (notice the last line: Module zaptel not found)
[trixbox1.localdomain zaptel]# setup-pstn

I find that very hard to believe. Did your install complete?

I think dahdi is not starting, however I would be shocked that it is not installed.

'yum list dahdi*'

It looks like the zaptel package is installed, but again, when I modprobe:
[trixbox1.localdomain extra]# modprobe zaptel
FATAL: Module zaptel not found.

This was a fresh install of 2.8.0.2. I did check the md5sum of the ISO before I burnt the CD. The install seemed to finish properly.

yum update

After running yum update, the kernel was updated to 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 and now the zaptel module loads. Is this the way trixbox 2.8.0.2 works, or was my installation incomplete?

Zaptel on 2.8 is impossible.

Zaptel on 2.8 is impossible. 2.8 is Asterisk 1.6 and only supports DAHDI.

Stupid mistake

Ugh, stupid mistake, I labeled the CDs wrong. I'm running 2.6. I downloaded both 2.6 and 2.8. Regardless of that mistake I wonder why the kernel and module versions didn't line up.
