yes, the lirc_serial to lirc_ir transition bit me too... It took me weeks
to figure it out. I finally got mine working again but I'm using a simple
hardware serial port receiver.

Not sure if it will help you but the "magic incantation" I had to do was
add the following to lirc_options.conf:

[modinit]
code1 = /usr/sbin/rmmod serial_ir
code2 = /usr/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
code3 = /usr/sbin/modprobe serial_ir

The module gets loaded before I can disable the uart...

Thanks,
Richard
