Problems installing Zaptel / ztdummy

Hi there,

Would anyone happen to have a link or some information about how to install Zaptel/ztdummy for my Q6600 system running CentOS and OpenVZ? There are a few sites around, but they all seem to have outdated information. I have seen several people successfully install/compile zaptel into the kernel but am not sure the best way to do this.

My kernel version is the openVZ patched Kernel 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.028stab053.4 . Before I install Asterisk, I obviously need to install/compile Zaptel module into my kernel, but I keep getting a kernel sources not found error. My kernel sources I believe are located in /usr/src/kernels, but 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.028stab053.4 used with OpenVZ is not there. On one tutorial it said to ln -s kernels/kernel_version linux, but that doesn't work if I don't have the source available. I am not sure how to do that.

rpm -q kernel-devel
kernel-devel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5

/usr/src/kernels/... has kernel-devel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5 inside, but not 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.028stab053.4. I don't know how to get 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.028stab053.4 in there so that I can create a link named 'linux' to it. Thus I need to know how to install the Kernel Source into my /usr/src/kernel/ directory.

Finally, I would be more than willing to hire someone with such experience to walk me through the process if possible.

Thank you,

Jim

My problem may be fixed now with yum install ovzkernel-devel.
