Axel was kind enough to build his lirc-kmdl packages, which fixes the
problem.  I haven't tried with the very latest kernel that came out this
week, but I know the problem existed with the previous kernel (2.6.24.3-34).
So, I'd recommend that you install the lirc-kmdl packages for your current
kernel before doing the 'modprobe lirc_serial'
