New subject: Centos 5 with kernel 2.6.32-042stab093.4

11 Sep 2014

      Pete,

 I have done this so many times but unfortunately I never documented it. Here is a simple description.

Get a distro and configure it like you normally would. Get ntpd running, network setup, etc.

Download the acid code and the latest dahdi -

I see it is 2.10.0    The last I used was 2.9.x but I suspect it will work the same. If not you could get the 2.9 version.

http://www.asterisk.org/downloads/dahdi

Apply the patch - info on how to do that is in the readme
https://allstarlink.org/fixed-dahdi-patches.tar.gz

Compile and install dahdi.

Then compile and install asterisk

Don't run any offsite updates. Configure it manually - not hard to do - and run. If you already have a configured system you can use those files from /etc.asterisk.  BTW the BBB setup procedure and howto's at  http://hamvoip.org describe how to do that very easily which would also apply here. The only caveat is the config files would be different to start with so some consideration has to be given to that.

All that sounds easy but you undoubtedly will have some hiccups and things you will have to do to get it to work. It is impossible to document that as it would be different on the multitude of distros and kernel versions.

I have compiled it on the latest Debian and Ubuntu. The real problem is OSS support which is required. Debian has it, Ubuntu does not. You have to recompile the kernel and add it back in. For that reason Ubuntu is not recommended as kernel versions can change with frequent updates.

I guess the big question is do you really need to do this. I forget why you said you can't run a local system. In that case you could just install an acid release on a PC or maybe go with the BBB.

Never patched some software before.

I am not sure what you 
are saying when you comment....

"well I think that Dahdi wont 
compile correctly on Any distro that have a kernel pass a certain 
point.."

Did you mean "will" ??  The 
patches can be applied against the latest dahdi and it will compile on late 
kernels. The BBB is an example of that.

well I think that Dahdi wont compile correctly on Any distro that have a 
kernel pass a certain point..

I can run the system on bunch of disto..

Here is the list..

CentOS 5 32bit
CentOS 5 64bit
CentOS 6 32bit
CentOS 6 64bit
CentOS 7 64bit
CentOS 7 64bit Minimal
Debian 6 32bit
Debian 6 64bit
Debian 7 32bit
Debian 7 32bit Minimal
Debian 7 64bit
Debian 7 64bit Minimal
Fedora 17 32bit
Fedora 17 64bit
Fedora 19 32bit
Fedora 19 64bit
Starbound-Ubuntu 13.10 32bit
SUSE 12.2 32bit
SUSE 12.2 64bit
Ubuntu 10.04 32bit
Ubuntu 10.04 64bit
Ubuntu 11.10 32bit
Ubuntu 11.10 64bit
Ubuntu 12.10 32bit
Ubuntu 12.10 64bit
Ubuntu 13.10 32bit
Ubuntu 13.10 64bit
Ubuntu 14.04 32bit
Ubuntu 14.04 32bit Minimal
Ubuntu 14.04 64bit
Ubuntu 14.04 64bit Minimal

So I have lots of choice 

But I was under the feeling that the best distro was centos 5 for acid.. 
(using the install script from the cd..

Unless you can point me in another direction..

Pete,

I have been 
somewhat following this. Does it have to be centos? Allstar will run on the 
latest Debian. You need to install it yourself but depending on your Linux 
capability it is not a big deal.

Thanks Bob. I dont think that it has to do with something 
impossible to do.. In fact I have been searching the archives about problem like 
that.. And there was some answer about some patch to dahdi zaptel.. or such.. I 
am at work, dont remember..  

If it would be installed at least up to a point. I would be able to do it.. 

I just dont know how to tell the compiler not to compile that part and go 
on..

Couple of thoughts. I've not been able to load using ssh.  Last time I 
attempted this zaptel did not load properly, but it seems I didn't get an error 
until after the reboot. It seems to me (check the ACID scripts), that ACID 
disables ssh during the load. When I have loaded CentOS 5.10 (as previously 
mentioned), I then used some of the ACID scripts to load asterisk, etc, I always 
had to us a monitor and keyboard on the server to be fully successful. But 
hey... that could just be my fumbling around.

As for your stated concern. I could be because no one knows the answer. 
Hard to believe, I know, but it seems to happen occasionally on this list 
:~}

Thanks, 
Bob

  OK, 
  did I asked a question that CAN’T be answered? Or did I asked the wrong way? 

  If 
  I did I am sorry.. And I gave my apology to every one I could have offended.. 

  But 
  is it possible to at least have a small word from all those guru here if it 
  can be done, and which way should I go? dont need to have someone holding my 
  hand.. Just need to have a small Idea what to do..

  Like 
  just point me the pathway.. I will try to do it on my own..

  Thanks

    I cant use the acid.iso cause the computer is in a remote place ( 
    rented server) and they dont supply special OS installation. I can have 
    fedore ubuntu centos on many flavor (x86 or 64 bit) and many revision... The 
    problem is not the loading od the cd are other things like that..

    I am sure that the kernel is too new and there is a part of zaptel that 
    need a depricated fonction If I am not crazy..

    I use this when ACID will not load, usually due to issues with BIO S 
    and network drivers. I was assuming you were not able to get ACID to load on 
    you computer. If your running phase2.sh was a second attempt after trying to 
    load ACID, you may need to check that all the files are there because the 
    load deletes some files. In short, if this occurred during an attempt to 
    load the ACID download, I'd just try it again. 

Thanks,

      I’ve done this 
      several times without issue. Here are the steps I used.

      Load CentOS 5.10 
      downloaded from CentOS website
      No features, tools 
      only, no desktop (competes with Asterisk)
      Set ssh 
      /etc/ssh/sshd_config
      Run "setup" at comand 
      line and disable firewall
      vi 
      /etc/rc.d/acidrepo
         http://dl.allstarlink.org
      Execute portion of 
      ks.cfg, each line at a time
      cp /etc/rc.d/rc.local 
      /etc/rc.d/rc.local.orig
      cat <<EOF 
      >>/etc/rc.d/rc.local

      cd /etc/rc.d; rm -f 
      phase1.sh; wget -q http://dl.allstarlink.org/installcd/phase1.sh 

      chmod 755 
      /etc/rc.d/phase1.sh

      /etc/rc.d/phase1.sh
      Auto reboot after 
      phase1.sh executed
      phase2.sh runs 
      automatically to completion
