Bug 146523 – net-misc/zaptel-1.2.8 rtc problems

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Timo Gurr (RETIRED) 2006-09-06 02:18:44 UTC]

If the rtc useflag is not set the ebuild doesn't complain about missing the rtc kernelmodule and thus you can't modprobe the ztdummy module. (In my opinion rtc shouldn't be a useflag but forced to be checked/enabled by the ebuild.) Or perhaps add a ztdummy useflag which takes care of the rtc support if rtc is only needed for this single module? I'm not very familiar with zaptel though, you probably have more knowledge about how to solve this "problem" :)

modprobe output:
FATAL: Error inserting ztdummy (/lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r7/misc/ztdummy.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

dmesg output:
kcapi: card 1 "Diva Server V-PRI/E1-30" ready.
Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196
Zaptel Version: 1.2.8 Echo Canceller: KB1
ztdummy: Unknown symbol rtc_register
ztdummy: Unknown symbol rtc_unregister
ztdummy: Unknown symbol rtc_control

And perhaps a note about where to find rtc support in the kernel would be nice, since there is
Device Drivers --> Real Time Clock  --->
and
Device Drivers --> Character devices  ---> <*> Enhanced Real Time Clock Support

1.2.8 is bugguy !
I had to downgrade to 1.2.7, because my TD400P didn't work anymore with it.
But, 1.2.7 isn't anymore in portage. A chance for me, I saved my modules before upgrading to 1.2.8. I just put them in /lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r7/misc/

And asterisk-1.2.9_p1 is bugguy to, zapbarge doesn't work anymore with it.

We really need lastest versions 1.2.12.1 and zaptel 1.2.9.1.

rtc should be a flag at least on linux 2.4 kernels where it can't build 
ztdummy.

Also the CRC_CCITT checking on v2.4 kernels is flawed.
an finaly, the modules.conf from /etc should be copied to the image
BEFORE the make INSTALL_PREFIX=${D}.....
appears or else it fails on a v2.4 build.

[Comment 3 Nico Baggus 2006-09-20 00:27:55 UTC]

On a V2.4 kernel the check shoulc be for CONFIG_CRC32
if needed.

I'm not convinced that Bug 153832 is a duplicate of this bug.

Basically for x86 and AMD64 on kernel 2.6, rtc support is always enabled, regardless of your rtc USE flag setting.

USE_RTC is #defined at about line 50 of ztdummy.c.

zaptel 1.2.22.1 in cvs.

please reopen if this is still a problem.
