Is there any output from either /etc/init.d/dahdi start or dmesg when this happens? Normally the process is this (just in case this helps highlight something that might not be standard on your system): 1) The system boots up, udev runs and *does not* load any drivers because all the drivers have been blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/dahdi.blacklist.conf 2) The init scripts are run (distribution specific how you set there, chkconfig/update-rc.d/etc...) and /etc/init.d/dahdi looks in /etc/dahdi/modules to determine which board specific modules are loaded. 3) After all the modules are loaded /etc/init.d/dahdi runs dahdi_cfg to parse /etc/dahdi/system.conf and configure the spans and channels appropriately. In your email you say that the drivers are not properly loaded but to fix it neither "dahdi_cfg" or "/etc/init.d/asterisk restart" actually loads the drivers.
