I’m using kernel 2.6.18.8-linode22 all was going well until i went to run “. linode-kernel-prepare.sh” it seems to have disappeared. Any ideas? I’ve got a system down and driving me nuts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

got it working for 2.6.32.16-linode28 with your directions. THANKS!

one glitch with my dahdi distribution was that building dahdi_dummy was commented out in the Kbuild file. Just remove the comment and dummy builds and installs.

I haven’t worked with this for over a year. So not sure if later kernels broke it.

Probably best bet is to check and ask on the Linode forums.

Good luck!

This all solved some of my issue son Linode.com but seem to encounter another:

service dahdi start

xpp_usb: FATAL: Module xpp_usb not found.
[FAILED]

/usr/share/dahdi/waitfor_xpds: Missing astribank_is_starting
No hardware timing source found in /proc/dahdi, loading dahdi_dummy
Running dahdi_cfg: Notice: Configuration file is /etc/dahdi/system.conf
line 0: Unable to open master device ‘/dev/dahdi/ctl’

My kernel is Linux 2.6.32.12-linode25 (CentOS 5.5).

You sir are a man of honour. Thanks for the tips and detail regarding this linode issue. Been driving me nuts for 2 days (well.. all 15 min. of time i spent researching.. lol).

I hope it works with channel mixing now..

No matter if you host your own Asterisk PBX, use someone else’s VOIP gateway services, or rig your own using a PTSN-VOIP gateway hardware device, you’re going to have to pay someone if it lands onto the traditional phone system.
