i have 2.6.2 kernel and try to compile the lirc_serial module.

i patched the kernel sources via

 http://flameeyes.web.ctonet.it/lirc/lirc-2.6.2-20040209.bz2

after compiling i got these message:

WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.2/kernel/drivers/char/lirc/lirc_serial.ko needs u=
nknown symbol module_refcount

when i try to load the modules:

# modprobe lirc_serial=20
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_serial (/lib/modules/2.6.2/kernel/drivers/char/=
lirc/lirc_serial.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see d=
mesg)

dmesg:
lirc_serial: Unknown symbol module_refcount

the lirc_dev module processed fine  !!!!!!!

what does that mean?
