Hi List;

How can I know the needed Zaptel and Kernel versions
for my Asterisk version? Where I can find the
compatibility matrix for such thing?

Regards
Bilal

There is no such thing. If the version of Zaptel you have isn't
compatible with the version of Asterisk you are trying to build,
Asterisk won't use it. If the version of the kernel you have isn't
compatible with the version of Zaptel you are trying to build (which is
unlikely), Zaptel won't build against it. Asterisk does not care about
kernel versions.

Hello,

I was never able to get the TE407P card running on a 2.4 Linux kernel.
Using a 2.6 kernel I was able to get it working.

Not really surprising since a lot of companies do not support or even
test on Linux 2.4 any more.

What error(s) do you get? On what platform / kernel exactly?

Well, nobody really likes 2.4, I guess.

Build logs of zaptel svn on various kernels from recent days. A certain
2.4 is included there:

Hello,

This was about a year ago when we abandoned putting new systems on the
2.4.33 kernel. About that time we started having other vendors stop
supporting it very well also so it wasn't only that card that we were
having issues with. The problems were related to the CRC Linux modules
and zaptel not liking them in 2.4.

One very interesting side note, on identical hardware we got 5-10%
better Asterisk performance on a 2.4 kernel than we got on 2.6
kernels.

Overall we are happy with 2.6 and it's new features and we don't
really want to go back at this point. I just wanted to mention our
experiences with kernel problems.

Thanks,

MATT---

Try again, then. In the recent monthes there were some 2.4-specific
compilation fixes.

Interesting regression. Zaptel is generally a program that stresses some
parts of the ernel in unexpected ways.

Good and detailed bug reports are always welcomed.
