[testing] 2.6.17 - netboot works (hurray!!) but lirc doesn't

[root@mythfe01 acpi]# modprobe lirc_serial
WARNING: Error inserting lirc_dev (/lib/modules/2.6.17-ARCH/kernel/drivers/misc/lirc_dev.ko): Invalid module format
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_serial (/lib/modules/2.6.17-ARCH/kernel/drivers/misc/lirc_serial.ko): Invalid module format

I recompiled the lirc package from ABS using the appropriate _kernelver variable. Anybody have any idea why it would still be unhappy?

did you read the wiki? does that help?
(The wiki still needs some updating for the new splitted lirc packages, but I have no time right now ;-) )

try modprobing them again and then post the dmesg output.

make sure you're using the same version compiler as the kernel was compiled with, so if you're using gcc4.0 for a testing kernel, update to the gcc in testing - 4.1.

Re: [testing] 2.6.17 - netboot works (hurray!!) but lirc doesn't

I added this line to my modprobe.conf to make it work:

install lirc_serial /usr/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_serial;

EDIT: Oh well, I just read your post and you don't have the "Device or ressource busy" message, but instead "Invalid module format". You need to install lirc from testing of course.
