No IR Signal sent

[Paul S. <sh...@ho...>]

I'm trying to get a second instance of lirc to run, based off of Robert 
Wamble's definitive HowTo.  The hardware is the IR Blaster from 
http://www.irblaster.info/, so I'm assuming that the hardware is functional. 
  After many hours of trials & tribulations, I have what seems to be a 
functional install of the driver, but no signal is coming from the hardware. 
  I am checking this by veiwing the transmitter through a digital camera 
(along with holding it in front of the cable box & using irrecord from the 
functional lirc receiver - an Irman).

Some information on my current system:
   Fedora Core 4
   IR Blaster attached to COM2

configure.sh
   #!/bin/bash
   ./configure \
   --with-moduledir=/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1447_FC4/misc \
   --with-transmitter \
   --with-x \
   --with-driver=serial \
   --with-major=72 \
   --with-port=0x2f8 \
   --with-irq=3 \
   "$@"

/etc/modprobe.conf:
   alias char-major-72 remote_serial
   options remote_serial irq=3 io=0x2f8

/etc/remoted.conf:
   Originally I used a .conf recorded from my functional receiver irrecord.
   Then, for testing purposes, I used TIVO_Series_2.conf (checked with 
digital camera).

lsmod | grep remote:
   remote_serial          12320       0
   remote_dev             13188       1

ls -l /dev | grep remote:
   crw-r--r--  1 root   root    72,    0 Sep 29 18:36 remote
   crw-rw----  1 root   root    72,    0 Sep 29 18:40 remote0

   prw-r--r--  1 root   root           0 Sep 29 18:37 remotem

delay):

Command being sent:
   /usr/local/bin/remote_irsend --device=/dev/remoted SEND_ONCE Tivo_S2 4

I've resolved a couple of newbie issues so far (forgot to compile with 
transmit capabilities, etc), but I'm stumped here.  I get no indication of 
errors from the software, and the hardware was tested by the seller, leaving 
me with no place to start looking.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
I've tried to include any information that would be required, let me know if 
I left something important out.

Thanks
