Outbound stopped working after upgrade to 2.8 (POTS), showing DAHDI/g0 instead of Zap/g0

I have upgraded today from 2.7 to 2.8 and all was still working besides the outbound, I started having “All circuits are busy now” message.

I have three cards connected to 3 POTS lines.
Asterisk version is 1.4.23.1

My trunk is set to ZAP (with dahdi compatibility)
All was working fine before the upgrade.
I tried to restart the pbx machine (from linux) and still did not solve the problem.

I have checked the asterisk log it is showing the following:
The trunk is showing DAHDI but the trunk is ZAP with dahdi compatibility, previous to version 2.8 the same call would go out as
ZAP/g0
instead of
DAHDI/g0 (version 2.8)

Any suggestion on how to fix it?

Fixed it temporarily by editing /etc/asterisk/extensions_additional.conf and modifying DAHDI/g0 to Zap/g0
then

amportal restart

voila!
