kernel26-ck - lirc_serial not found

hi,
just installed kernel26-ck (2.6.35) and it really seems to give me snappier system. so far, so good.
alas, now lirc doesn't work anymore. the module lirc_serial cannot be found.
so, do i have to recompile the lirc package to get it working?
thx for any hints
pseb

Hi pseb,

since the topic isn't too old, and quite actual for me, I wanted to ask, if you came any further. With arch vanilla kernel it's possible to install the needed modules with pacman -S lirc, but if you're using an other kernel, I guess, you have to compile them from source, like you mentioned. I stumpled upon this thread ( http://www.g-loaded.eu/2006/01/10/how-t … -use-lirc/ ) and will I try it when I got the time. Maybe you can get me any hints on this, if you got any further.

ewigkeit is right.  You'll need to build them yourself just like folks wanting the nvidia drivers with kernel-ck need to do.  The bad news for you is that there isn't a lirc-ck package in the AUR.

...there is an nvidia-ck package

yes, i have lirc running now with kernel26-ck. i rebuilt it with abs, had to change the kernel-version in the PKGBUILD.  wonderful simplicity of arch ^^

@pseb - you might consider placing your PKGBUILD on the AUR so others can enjoy your work.

EDIT: Found myself needing this so placed the pkg in the AUR for others if interested, it's here.

mh... it's a minimal change to the PKGBUILD. IMHO it't be better to add a little info to the lirc wiki page.

Thanks for your clues with the ABS - that really did the job, pseb. In Return and to save you some time, I already added the info to the lirc wiki page.

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LIR … rch-Kernel

This should do the job, I guess.
