Comment 5 for bug 617744

I get a kernel oops with lirc_mceusb as well as soon as the receiver receives the first IR signal. The oops is not logged anywhere and the system becomes completely unresponsive after the OOPS. I cannot SSH into the system either, forcing me to hard reset the machine.

uname -a
Linux mediabox 2.6.35-15-server #21-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 11 18:23:50 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Note that I have no lirc package installed on this system, so this is indeed entirely a kernel problem.

'modprobe lirc_mceusb' seems to be working just fine for me:
