[vdr] lirc_serial modul doesn't work with the VdrNFSroot mini distribution

[Thomas Glomann <dromtom@web.de>]

Hi all,

i recently created an almost silent diskless client which will serve as a VDR 
client in the living room.

As root filesystem I use a modified VdrNfsRoot.

The System runs very fine execept that my LIRC driver doesn't work.

The IR receiver ("homebrew serial ...") doesn't generate any output with 
mode2. 
I doubt that the lirc_serial module is even loaded properly because i get the 
following kernel message : 
   lirc_serial: auto detectetd active high receiver
however, it should detect a    low   receiver. That is what is says when i use 
the IR receiver on my other computers. there it works just fine. If I load 
the the lirc_serial module without havin connected the actual hardware it 
also detects a high receiver. 

So I think it must be somehow related to the VdrNfsRoot distri. There were no 
/dev entries for serial ports like /dev/ttyS0.  I created ttyS0 with mknod 
ttyS0 c 4 64

I already spent lots of hours just to figure out this "small" issue.  without 
LIRC i cannot control VDR and thus my client is useless.

Btw, serial port is compiled in the kernel ;)  and is also detected at kernel 
start.

Please help me !

Or maybe someone can send me his/her own working VdrNfsRoot fs.

Thanks a lot.

Thomas Glomann
