Major error going on somewhere

Here's exactly what I did, step by step.

Removed all network cables.
Inserted CD.
Entered p/w, time zone etc and let it run.
Removed CD when it popped out and let the computer restart.
netconfig - set up the network stuff.
reboot

All good so far.

yum install wan*
reboot

All good here.

Setup-sangoma

And here the problems start.

STARTING ASTERISK
Asterisk ended with exit status 1
Asterisk died with code 1.
Automatically restarting Asterisk.
mpg123: no process killed
Asterisk ended with exit status 1

-----------------------------------------------------
Asterisk could not start!
Use 'tail /var/log/asterisk/full' to find out why.

So like a good little trooper I checked out the log.

Jul 30 13:33:27] VERBOSE[3515] logger.c: Asterisk Event Logger Started /var/log/asterisk/event_log
[Jul 30 13:33:28] ERROR[3515] asterisk.c: Asterisk has detected a problem with your Zaptel configuration and will shutdown for your protection.  You have options:
        1. You only have to compile Zaptel support into Asterisk if you need it.  One option is to recompile without Zaptel support.
        2. You only have to load Zaptel drivers if you want to take advantage of Zaptel services.  One option is to unload zaptel modules if you don't need them.
        3. If you need Zaptel services, you must correctly configure Zaptel.

Doesn't mean I understand it though. Obviously, Zaptel is messing up, but it seems to be caused by the sangoma thing.

I've tried reinstalling; with and without the sangoma card installed.
I've reverted to a previous version and made sure the card works. It does.
I've tried commenting all the zaptel things out, and uncommenting the dummy.
I've tried yum update.
I tried removing zaptel, which made asterisk work... but obviously zaptel wouldn't. It also wouldn't reinstall zaptel. I had to reinstall again.
I tried removing and reinstalling wan*
I tried installing all needed stuff from the package screen on the web interface.

Oh, I also get the 'does /etc/asterisk/asterisk.ctl exist?' message. Or something like that.
I tried the 'chown asterisk:asterisk /etc/asterisk/asterisk.ctl' I read on some other thread.

As a little test, I just stopped amportal, zaptel and wanrouter.
I tried 'amportal restart' It worked fine.
I then tried 'wanrouter start' followed by 'amportal restart'. And it throws back the error above. (asterisk died with code 1)
Then I tried 'service zaptel start' and again 'amportal restart' and it reverted to the error message above.

The card is an A101; the PC is a Dell Poweredge 840. If there's any particular logs you want, or commands you want me to run, let me know.
I'd like to get this sorted this week as I'm off for the next two.

Thanks
