modules.dep not working w/Debian and 2.6 kernel

[Michael C. <mca...@ya...>]

I've dug around the list archives, and haven't found anyone else with this
problem, but I can't believe I'm the only one having it. I must be doing
something hokey...

I am running debian sarge with a 2.6.10 kernel, and compiled lirc-0.7.0.

If I modprobe lirc_serial, it will load, but I am unable to get it to load
on its own.

Here is a what I get:

myth:/etc# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
myth:/etc# mode2
mode2: error opening /dev/lirc
mode2: No such device
myth:/etc# ls -l /dev/lirc
crw-r--r--  1 root root 61, 0 Feb  3 04:38 /dev/lirc
myth:/etc# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
lirc_dev               11404  0 
myth:/etc# modprobe lirc_serial
myth:/etc# mode2

myth:/etc# rmmod lirc_serial lirc_dev   
myth:/etc# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
myth:/etc# cat > modutils/lirc
alias char-major-61 lirc_serial
myth:/etc# 
myth:/etc# update-modules
myth:/etc# grep lirc modules.conf
### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/lirc
alias char-major-61 lirc_serial
### update-modules: end processing /etc/modutils/lirc
myth:/etc# mode2
mode2: error opening /dev/lirc
mode2: No such device
myth:/etc# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
lirc_dev               11404  0 
myth:/etc# 

I have noticed that there is another "modules.conf" type system in
/lib/modules/2.6.10myth-via

myth:/lib/modules/2.6.10myth-via# grep lirc *
modules.alias:alias char-major-61-* lirc_dev
modules.dep:/lib/modules/2.6.10myth-via/misc/lirc_dev.ko:
modules.dep:/lib/modules/2.6.10myth-via/misc/lirc_serial.ko:
/lib/modules/2.6.10myth-via/misc/lirc_dev.ko
modules.symbols:alias symbol:lirc_unregister_plugin lirc_dev
modules.symbols:alias symbol:lirc_register_plugin lirc_dev
myth:/lib/modules/2.6.10myth-via# 

but when I change the char-major alias to lirc_serial, or add another
alias, when I run depmod, the file reverts to this version.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
