1. compile the kernel WITHOUT serial driver support
2. make sure your receiver is connected to the right port
3. load lirc_serial.o
4. you should see it detect the receiver
5. remove the remote.conf file (if there is one)
6. start lircd with lircd /path/to/lircd.conf
7. start vdr (hopefully compiled with lirc support, REMOTE=LIRC)

if you use vdr-nfsroot from http://www.thf.ath.cx, there should be
allready all nodes in /dev.

hope this helps ...
