help loading lirc module

I compiled lirc for my card - said it needs the lirc_gpio module. I put that in modules to load and lircd in daemons in rc.conf.

Now when arch boots I get a message:

error inserting lirc_gpio (path/...) invalid request code

someone know how to get around this???

Re: help loading lirc module

Can you do it manually i.e.

modprobe lirc_gpio

Re: help loading lirc module

Don't know if there's still interest, but I just ran into this. If you check dmesg after trying to load the lirc_gpio module, it probably says it's an invalid card.

Try loading with:

modprobe lirc_gpio gpio_mask=0xff

And report back!
