I am having problems with Jarod's guide as well.  I have added alias
char-major-61 lirc_serial and some other lines to /etc/modprobe.conf, but
lircd won't load the module on startup.  It loads lirc_dev instead.  I
have now hacked /etc/init.d/lircd to load lirc_serial before starting
lircd and it works, but it's not an elegant solution (and gets removed
when lirc is upgraded).

Kind regards,

Mark
