I'm using 2.6.34 and had the same problems.  I've looked into it a
couple times and finally found something that worked (for me at least).

I noticed that ir-kbd-i2c loaded correctly and found that it included
this line, but lirc_i2c did not.  Adding this one line fixed it.

I have a Hauppauge PVR-150 on i686 Arch Linux.

Simply apply this patch with
patch -p0 -f 

or, if you're using arch, you can used the attached src package.

Hope this helps.
