I never have had those issues if you don't execute zaptel init.d
script, because it tries to unmod all zaptel dependant modules
including wanrouter which need to be unmoded with wanrouter script. (A
matter of order in the unload process). Perhaps this tip helps you
avoiding that fear. This makes an auto-reboot after a kernel panic
occurs.

/etc/sysctl.conf:
kernel.panic = 1

OR

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic

OR

pass panic=1 as a kernel parameter in your grub.conf/lilo.conf

Now that is nice to know, thanks!

Removing all the modules on shutdown is not really needed.

Many people seem to prefer it for some strange reason.
In addition, what you describe here means a specific init.d script's
"stop" action needs to run after that of another. There are a number of
ways to order that. In most distributions it is done by explicit
ordering. In some it is done by dependencies.

Gentoo is one of them, where if you run directly from CLI
/etc/init.d/zaptel stop and wanrouter script have the zaptel
dependency
first wanrouter is going to be stopped as a direct dependency of zaptel.

Have you any other in mind?

Right, this Kernel panic issue was a surprise to me as well. I even
complained to Sangoma. In order to avoid it at customer sites, we edit
the /etc/init.d/zaptel script and in the "stop" section we put in
'service wanrouter stop' before anything gets unloaded.
