The postinst script of dahdi starts the service dahdi, which in turn
loads all kernel modules listed in /etc/dahdi/modules .

Do you have any dahdi modules installed?

Do you have any DAHDI hardware?

Workaround: move that file aside.

I wonder if we should change the default of that file to be generated by
running 'dahdi_genconf modules' in the postinst script.
