Comment 49 for bug 655512

I hope this is the same bug that I'm having, it doesn't go away with or without lirc-modules-source installed. As suggested this may be a kernel issue?

I'm having the same issue with the new kernel, it is a new install and I've been banging my head on this for 2 days.

The kernel won't load(build?) the module I need: lirc_atiusb

The symptoms are similar to his issue: [url]http://old.nabble.com/atiusb-module-does-not--build-with-kernel-2.6.35-td29254059.html[/url]

except that after looking at the code it doesn't seem that is the same solution, but I can't be sure.

I have two machines with the same install(kernel) and the bug is replicable by simply installing lirc and trying to insert lirc_atiusb
sudo apt-get lirc
sudo modprobe lirc_atiusb
results:
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/lirc-blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release.
FATAL: Module lirc_atiusb not found

This is obvious, but if I edit my hardware.conf to include the module and try to restart lirc (sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart) i receive this error:
Unable toload LIRC kernel modules. Verify your selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

and dmesg outputs
[38999.024638] lirc_atiusb: disagrees about version of symbol lirc_register_driver
[38999.024643] lirc_atiusb: Unknown symbol lirc_register_driver (err -22)

Not sure what else youmight need
