I have updated the Asterisk rpm to smeserver-asterisk-1.0-RC1.i686.rpm.

You can grab it here

Back up your config files before installing. Enjoy - let me know of any problems.

Duncan,

Great job on the Asterisk rpm. Works great. Am having trouble compling the drivers (zaptel, libpri, zapata).

Can you help?

Will this rpm work with Athlon processors? I just installed Asterisk on another computer but want to run it on my SME server (which is an Athlon).

Charlie,

I am running it on an Athlon XP1800.

Just download Duncan's rpm and install. Works great.

Would be even more wonderful if I could compile the drivers for the cards I bought from Digium!

JV

[duncan]

I will have a go at compiling the drivers this afternoon and see whats what.

This build contains the firmware for Digiums IAXy unit. Unfortunatly we cant get them yet down here, but they look like being a good option for remote users.

[jonvee]

Duncan,

Got through all the complie stuff, but...

the drivers won't load with modprobe. Something about the version of the kernel not matching the version of the modules.

Am sure it's something I'm doing wrong but am not a whiz on this yet.

JV

[duncan]

Where did you get the drivers from ?

[jonvee]

Duncan,

Driver from Digium CVS

cd /usr/src
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.digium.com:/usr/cvsroot
cvs login

Then:

cvs checkout zaptel libpri

Here's what I've done so far.

1. Installed kernel source rpm from the 6.0 release. This puts a bunch of patch files
and a tar.bz2 file in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES.

2. Uncompressed the bz2 file with bunzip2.

3. Extracted tar file. Puts files in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/linux-2.4.20

4. Digium "make" script needs soft link to kernel sources. So, "cd to /usr/src".
Then "ln -s /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/linux-2.4.20 linux".

5. Check soft link with "ls -ld /usr/src/linux". Should see the link.

6. Create the kernel config file. "cd /usr/src/linux" then "make menuconfig".
At the bottom of the menu is Load alternate configuration file. Select that option
and enter "/boot/config-2.4.20-18.7". Then back to main menu and select Save alternate
configuration file. (Note: I think this may be the problem with the mismatch error
message when I try to modprobe the driver). Enter "/arch/i386/defconfig" then OK to
save. Exit menu.

7. Enter "make dep". Bunch of stuff flashes by for a minute or so. This is suppose to
create the modversions.h file that zaptel needs.

8. Then "cd /usr/src/zaptel". "make clean" then "make install" (Note: this is where
things go south on me. Get error messages about unresolved symbols)

You are making things a bit hard for yourself. I will do a zaptel howto (just did a quick install on a test machine) and add it to my contribs directory.

[duncan]

Zaptel howto here

Dev tools
For SME 6
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/saco/contrib/devtools_SME6.0/

For SME 6.0.1

[jonvee]

Duncan,

Thanks for the great howto. Much easier than what I struggled with and more complete.

Still end up at the same spot though. Here's what I get when I try to load the driver with modprobe:

# modprobe wcfxo
/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.7/misc/zaptel.o: kernel-module version mismatch
        /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.7/misc/zaptel.o was compiled for kernel version 2.4.20-18.7custom
        while this kernel is version 2.4.20-18.7.

/lib/modules/2.4.20-18.7/misc/zaptel.o: insmod wcfxo failed

Also when I run depmod:

# depmod -a
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.7-e-smith/kernel/drivers/net/ppp_generic.o
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.7/misc/tor2.o

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.7/misc/ztdynamic.o

Tried to force insmod to load the driver with same result.

Suggestions?

You probably need to look in the Kernel Makefile and get rid of the "custom" bit at the top.

Duncan

[jonvee]

Duncan,

Removing the custom bit in the Makefile solved that problem.

Now it down to this:

/sbin/depmod -a

When I run the make oldconfig, am I suppose to hit enter or do I have to enter 'y' each time?

Duncan,

Found this in the Digium lists:

Oliver,

Thanks. That was the problem. I removed the linux and asm include
directories and linked them to the kernel source directories.

Tried it but no go.

Duncan,

I've learned over the years that sometimes you have to start at the beginning, so I did a fresh install of 6.01 and used your directions.

I now have green lights on the Digium cards!

Thanks again. Send me an email as I would like to get you something for your help.
