Is DAHDI necessary at all if we are only going to use it without any Digium or other cards?
-
And how about the functionality of the panel managing asterisk? Does 2.4.1 resolve the previous issues about the change in the code?
Thanks,

After 7 hours of updation, and only 3 lines into the script, my kernel now is:
kernel.i686 0:2.6.18-164.6.1.el5
I will be completing the exercise by tomorrow and will let you know.
I am working on a Full QEMU KVM in ProxMox (http://pve.proxmox.org) v1.4.
The script above is only a starting point and I am yet to complete testing it.

2.4 is designed to run on Asterisk 1.4 so I'm not sure why you are installing 1.6. I suspect you will have problems with the AGI and extensions.conf code due to the changes which the Asterisk developers made between 1.4 and 1.6.
In theory you don't need DAHDI if you aren't running any telephony boards, in practice you do, at least in 1.4, because it provides Asterisk's timing source. Without it, things like conference rooms won't work, although this may not be true in 1.6.
Kind Regards

Thanks for the info. I have already hit a roadblock at:
cd /usr/src/asterisk-1.6.2.0-rc8
./configure
I get the error at this stage that libxml2 is not installed. Trying a yum install libxml2 results in nothing to do as
Package libxml2-2.6.26-2.1.2.8.i386 already installed and latest version
Is the SAIL v2.3.2-19 compatible with Asterisk v1.6.x ?
-
No it isn't. See my previous post in this thread.
Kind Regards
