[mythtv-users] lirc problems in ubuntu 9.04

Lirc worked great in 8.10. After updating to 9.04 everything worked fine
except lirc. No more remote for my myth :-(

When I restart lirc I get this message:

sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
Stopping lirc daemon:lircd

#####################################################
## I couldn't load the required kernel modules     ##
## You should install lirc-modules-source to build ##
## kernel support for your hardware.               ##
#####################################################
## If this message is not appropriate you may set  ##
## LOAD_MODULES=false in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf   ##
#####################################################
Starting lirc daemon:lircd1
Starting lirc daemon:lircd2

Changing to LOAD_MODULES=false nets me the same message when I restart lirc
again.

This is the contents of my hardware.conf file:

# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
#Which instances of lirc should we start
START_LIRCD1=true           #Hauppauge IR Receiver / Blaster
START_LIRCD2=true           #Serial IR Blaster

LIRCD1_ARGS="--device /dev/lirc0 --output=/dev/lircd --listen"
LIRCD2_ARGS="--device /dev/lirc1 --output=/dev/lircd1
--pidfile=/var/run/lircd2.pid"

#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES=true

MODULE_LIST="lirc_pvr150 lirc_serial"

# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
REMOTE_DIR="/usr/share/lirc/remotes"

# Remote control configuration
LIRCD1_CONF="hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge.wblaster"
LIRCD2_CONF="motorola/DCT2000"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c"
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge"
LIRCMD_CONF=""
REMOTE="Hauppauge TV card"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""
TRANSMITTER="None"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""

TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""
START_LIRCD="true"
START_LIRCMD=""
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"

odprobe -l |grep lirc nets me this:

kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/lirc_imon.ko

kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_gpio/lirc_gpio.ko

updates/dkms/lirc_ite8709.ko
updates/dkms/lirc_streamzap.ko
updates/dkms/lirc_dev.ko

So it would seem the modules are loaded, no?

Anybody seen this problem before?

Thanks,

Scott
