[arm-allstar] problems after upgrading

[David McGough]

Hi Don,

I suspect the problem is a typo in a config file in the /etc/asterisk
directory.  The 1.7.1 software release corrected several bugs related to 
poor handing of config file handling.  The way I usually look for this 
type of problem is to launch asterisk interactively, with all the startup 
messages scrolling on the screen.  Then, look for something abnormal.  I 
realize this implies a high level of understanding about what all the 
messages mean.  I'll be glad to help take a look, if needed.  Please 
contact me off list.  To launch asterisk interactively, go to a bash 
prompt (admin menu option #9) and run:

[root at RPi-Z2W ~]# asterisk -vvvvgc

<snip>

*CLI> stop now

Use the command "stop now" to exit the CLI.

The 'power-cycle the usb sub-system' was added in the RPi3B days and 
was a great feature....Unfortunately, as of the more recent boards 
(RPi4B), this caused the board to crash as well as reseting the USB bus.  
That's why the feature was removed.
