My /etc/modprobe.conf has the following in it pertaining to LIRC. Note: I have the homebrew receiver on ttyS1 (COM2). alias char-major-61 lirc_serial options lirc_serial type=0 irq=3 io=0x2f8 debug=1 install lirc_serial /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_serial The "install" line is 1 long line.

Make sure LIRC starts apon boot with: chkconfig --level 345 lircd on service lircd restart On my system the module is automatically loaded when lircd starts and the "install" line in /etc/modprobe.conf takes care of everything for me. -- Greg
