Nothing is written to log files so I cannot provide any debug information. As mentioned this has happened on multiple production machines and I do not have any other wctdm cards to test with. Although I can't say for certain that it's not Asterisk 1.2 vs. Zaptel 1.4 causing your issues, I've had crashes with HPEC on Zaptel 1.2 as well, and finally tracked these down to the HPEC binary overwriting bits of memory it shouldn't be touching. It may be the case that it's doing this for you on Zaptel 1.2, but due to code differences, isn't overwriting anything critical (for me, the crashes only started once we moved from kernel 2.6.15.7 to 2.6.20.x - the memory layout changed, HPEC would quickly corrupt the free list, and things would go boom upon the second deallocation of an HPEC EC). I've been working with Digium to get this found and fixed, so with luck there'll be an updated HPEC sometime reasonably soon.

Trevor Peirce wrote: Hello, Has anyone tried the combination of asterisk 1.2.24, zaptel 1.4.5 and HPEC 9.00.003? First of all... Why are you using zaptel 1.4.5 with asterisk 1.2? That is a red flag in itself. In particular, with a hardware configuration similar to: Module 0: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode) Module 1: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode) Module 2: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode) Module 3: Not installed Found a Wildcard TDM: Wildcard TDM400P REV I (3 modules) I have two fully independent systems (both production, so I can't do further testing unfortunately) that crash anywhere between an hour and a day after booting under a minimal load. If HPEC is disabled, the problem is gone (but really bad echo). If I use zaptel 1.2.20.1, the problem is gone. The result is a kernel panic followed by an automatic reboot. Nothing is written to log files so I cannot provide any debug information. As mentioned this has happened on multiple production machines and I do not have any other wctdm cards to test with. I would be curious to hear if anyone else noticed the same problem or if they have it working. What are the common denominators?

I got to the point where I made a script that'll wipe out tonezone.h and zaptel.h out of the various directories they could end up in, and set up the symlinks so asterisk 1.2 would build the zaptel modules. This all for the express purpose of making sure I had the right versions and nothing conflicting. -- Does your Canadian VoIP service need CRTC-compliant 9-1-1 services?
