Hi Justin & Darrick,

Thanks for your help, I still cant get this to work, when I reboot the
machine it does not detect my TDM card I have to run " modprobe wctdm " at
root to get it started hope you could send me some answers.

I tried this but still no go at reboot I have to run " modprobe wctdm" to
get it to work.

[The symbolic link was there to start with.  If you deleted it and

Darrick,

As I indicated on a fresh install there was absolutely nothing in the
following files.

/etc/asterisk > no Zapata.conf
/etc > no zaptel.conf or symlink either
/mnt/kd > no zaptel.conf file

This is what totally threw me off the trail, so what I did was using my
experiences in installing plain asterisk I created those files manually, but
did not realise for some reason the Astlinux distro does not take kindly to
comments #. This I only discovered since the assistance from Martin Rogers,
when he posted his configurations. I have created the necessary sym link,
but still at powerup or reboot the TDM card is not detected and I have to
manually run " modprobe wctdm " for some reason wherever the script is to
probe for this card and powerup/bootup/reboot is not doing its job.

Another thing I noticed also after a reboot/powerup if you use the Asterisk
wed gui and click on the detect hardware tab the page comes up ok and shows
no analogue hardware, so if you click on any other tab and go back and click
on the detect hardware tab the whole system hangs, you loose your putty
connection, https the lot. The only way to get it back is a power recycle.

The symbolic link was there to start with.  If you deleted it and 
created a new file overwriting, it's possible to 'undelete' the deleted 
symbolic link by removing the file that's on the unionfs partition which 
is overwriting the symbolic link.

We really are trying to get the documentation updated.  I've had a few 
different people who have offered to do documentation on various parts 
of Astlinux.  To date no one has actually produced anything.  I'll try 
to update the page with a few topics, but it may be helpful to have a 
list of requested topics.

On a short list, I have the following:

Upgrading (new process)
Installing Zaptel (sometime to be dahdi) hardware
Installing Sangoma hardware
Installing ISDN (using mISDN v1)

Best practices guide?

Any other topics people can thing of?

Darrick
