Hello list, I'm hoping someone here can help me remove the final obstacle in my quest to replace linux-2.4 with linux-2.6. I've got a serial receiver which works without problems in 2.4, but I've been unable to make it work in 2.6. I'm using userlevel libs from lirc-0.6.6 and the latest lirc patch for linux-2.6.3 from http://flameeyes.web.ctonet.it/downloads.html Browsing the list archives I've noticed that some people have been successful in getting a similar setup as mine work, so I thought I'd ask if one of you guys could help me out a little bit. Maybe the biggest confusion is the case with lirc_serial: lirc_serial is the module that works for me in 2.4, but in 2.6, using the flameeyes patchset, there's no config option for lirc_serial anymore. At first I thought that lirc_serial has been merged to lirc_sir, but now I'm not so sure anymore. Anyhow, with 2.4, lirc works without a hitch, but in 2.6 I get no reseption. And I suspect the problem lies in my lirc configuration, but however I try to configure it, it doesn't work. These are the relevant parts of my current .config file: # Linux InfraRed Controller # CONFIG_LIRC_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_LIRC_MAX_DEV=2 # CONFIG_LIRC_BT829 is not set # CONFIG_LIRC_IT87 is not set CONFIG_LIRC_ATIUSB=m # CONFIG_LIRC_MCEUSB is not set # CONFIG_LIRC_PARALLEL is not set CONFIG_LIRC_SIR=m # CONFIG_LIRC_ON_SA1100 is not set # CONFIG_LIRC_SIR_IRDA is not set CONFIG_LIRC_SIR_TEKRAM=y # CONFIG_LIRC_SIR_ACTISYS_ACT200L is not set CONFIG_LIRC_SIR_COM1=y # CONFIG_LIRC_SIR_COM2 is not set # CONFIG_LIRC_SIR_COM3 is not set # CONFIG_LIRC_SIR_COM4 is not set # CONFIG_LIRC_SIR_OTHER is not set CONFIG_LIRC_PORT_SIR=0x3f8 CONFIG_LIRC_IRQ_SIR=4 So, I'd be extremly greatful if one of the guys with a working setup could give me a hint at what I'm doing wrong. Posting the .config for example would be very helpful. Thanks in advance, juhis |

At first I thought that I've already replied you: Seems like you are missing serial driver: =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 config LIRC_SERIAL =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 tristate "Serial Driver" =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 depends on LIRC_SUPPORT && SERIAL_8250 so you need to turn on SERIAL_8250 to use it. Regards, =2D-=20 =46lameeyes <dg...@us...> You can find LIRC for 2.6 kernels at http://flameeyes.web.ctonet.it/ |

I'm feeling stupid. Compiling my new and shiny kernel right now, hope everything works. A big thank you to you for this very helpful (and istantaneous) reply! Best regards, juhis |
