So from all the above you can see lsmod showed that modules wcfxo and zaptel were loaded and typing asterisk -c showed zaptel errors saying thay were not loaded. I have both modules in /etc/modprobe.preload as what was stated by the people on #mandrake these are where all modules are loaded when starting mandrake. If these modules were loaded from preload then why can I modprobe both modules with no feed back stating thay already have been loaded?? Does not make sence. The last step is to manually load the modules and then execute asterisk -c. As you can see the zaptel errors disapear. So would this be a bug between mandrake kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk and asterisk lattest CVS ?
