[vdr] Re: Mandrake 9.0 Kernel

[Marco Hentschel <marco_hentschel@hentschelit.de>]

Ok I found the big mistery !!!!

Everything is fine with Mandrake 9.0 except that the precompiled Kernel
and the Kernel Sources are different. 

I compiled a new Kernel with the Mandrake Kernel Sources. With the
original .config file. After I started the custom Kernel, everything was
fine. No more unresolved symbols. The driver are loaded very quick, also
unloading ist less than one second. 

You can use the lirc modules which have been added to the kernel by the
Mandrake distribution. The config file for lirc is /etc/sysconfig/lircd.
For my serial port ir here my config file:

[/etc/sysconfig/lircd]

# Customized setings for lirc daemon

# The hardware driver to use, run lircd --driver=? for a list

#DRIVER=default
CONFIG=/etc/lircd.conf
# Hardware driver module to load
HWMOD=lirc_serial

# The device node that communicates with the IR device.

# with devfs enabled
DEVICE=/dev/lirc/serial

# without devfs 
#DEVICE=/dev/lirc

# Serial port for the receiver (for serial driver)
# COM1 (/dev/ttyS0)
COM_PORT=/dev/ttyS0
DRIVER_OPTS="irq=4 io=0x3f8"

Than lirc should work also for you. My lirc remote config is in the
/etc/lircd.conf . You have to add this file as a commandline option into
the lirc init script. 

After I installed the gcc 2.96 I could compile vdr. 

Greetings,
Marco
