error inserting module: invalid request code

I've been trying to get my lirc module (lirc_gpio.ko) to load at boot.

What is an invalid request? What do I need to do to get it to load?
Do I need kernel sources?

Re: error inserting module: invalid request code

try `depmod -a`

sounds like the module was built with a different version of gcc.

Edit:  it sounds like you might need some aliases in modprobe.conf.   Found on JustLinux...
