Hi thanks for your reply, just a minute ago i found out the problem myself. 
The module has autodetected my receiver wrong so that it thought it is an 
active high receiver. I have had a look in the logs today and searched for 
these messages and found that the module in kernel 2.4 recognized my receiver 
as active low. . An modinfo lirc_serial showed me that i can set that by 
sense=1 and i have added to type=0 and now it works again. :) Maybe this 
helps someone sometimes :)
