Still struggling trying to get LIRC to start properly at boot.

Other systems, like Fedora, Ubunto, etc, seemingly can put this
in /etc/modprobe.conf, or /etc/sysconfig/modules/,
and my Debian doesn't have those places.
I try in /etc/modules to no avail.
The file /etc/modules.conf says "DO NOT EDIT".

How are you Debian experts doing this?

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, Kevin, I am tearing my hair out... Yes they do show up in lsmod, but
LIRC isn't working. This doesn't make sense to me.

I have found in order to get LIRC working after a reboot, I have to go to the
LIRC directory and do "make clean && make && make install (as root) then
manually load the modules, then do "lircd" (as root). Then if I do "irw" and
get some responses on the screen from my remote, I know it's working again.

I sincerely appreciate ideas,
Mike

are you saying that you put the modules in /etc/modules and after a
reboot, and a lsmod, the modules you put in there do not show up?

Is there something wrong with the Debian packages? I may have missed
something earlier in the thread, but I wonder why it is that you feel
you need to manually install from source.

Thanks Roberto,
The Debian packages (lirc-modules-source) won't compile. Not sure if it's a
bug with the 2.6.20.x kernel or lirc itself.
I've bee through it, it won't work.
Thanks,
Mike

Oh. I did not realize you were running a home-rolled kernel. My
mistake.

However, have you tried using module-assistant?

Yes, thanks. module-assistant fails to compile it as well.
