[App_rpt-users] Asterisk unable to start

[David McGough]

Lu,

I see from an earlier post that you're running a 4.19.66-v7+ kernel 
version. That's the issue. You must have inadvertently upgraded the kernel 
when updating Linux.

The symptom you're describing (the /dev/dahdi folder completely missing) 
is explained by missing dahdi drivers.

The simplest solution is to down-grade your kernel to the previous 
version, which should already have drivers present. That kernel and 
supporting files are still probably installed, just inactive.

I’m beginning to wonder if my sd card is in trouble. 
I thought I might try to copy that directory from another working image but it won’t let me.
