lirc 0.6.3 & 2.4.1 kernel ?!

[Nils H. <nil...@gm...>]

Hi !

I used lirc 0.6.1 under 2.2.16 before, but now i upgraded my kernel to 2.4.1
and tried to use the version 0.6.3 ...

I use a silitek sm-1000 which seems to ne compatibel to the homebrew ( at
least thats how i used it under 0.6.1 )

I did:

./configure
make
make install

i changed mode of /dev/lircd to 666

Then i do an insmod /lib/modules/2.4.1/misc/lirc_serial.o

Then i start lircd

ps -ax shows it running ...

but when i start my app ( vdr ) or irw to check whats going on, lircd exits
and writes the following to the /var/log/lircd:

Apr  3 18:07:52 daisy lircd-0.6.3: lircd(serial) ready
Apr  3 18:07:56 daisy lircd-0.6.3: foo
Apr  3 18:07:56 daisy lircd-0.6.3: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Apr  3 18:07:56 daisy lircd-0.6.3: could not open /dev/lirc
Apr  3 18:07:56 daisy lircd-0.6.3: default_init(): No such device
Apr  3 18:07:56 daisy lircd-0.6.3: caught signal


when i tries to configure lirc 0.6.3 to use the sm_1000 natively ( not as
homebrew ) i get the same result, after installing everything ( i don't need
an insmod in the sm_1000 case ) it shows the same behaviour as above,
logging:

Apr  3 18:03:56 daisy lircd-0.6.3: lircd(silitek) ready
Apr  3 18:03:56 daisy lircd-0.6.3: foo
Apr  3 18:03:56 daisy lircd-0.6.3: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Apr  3 18:03:56 daisy lircd-0.6.3: could not open /dev/lirc
Apr  3 18:03:56 daisy lircd-0.6.3: silitek_init(): No such device
Apr  3 18:03:56 daisy lircd-0.6.3: caught signal

also mode2 returns:

daisy:/dev # mode2
mode2: error opening /dev/lirc
mode2: No such device




Any help ??? I have no clue whats going on ... i needed 2.4.1 because of > 2
Gig File support, and now this ....


Thank you for any help !
