You need to install modules, shouldn't matter which kernel you have
because you need to compile said modules. From the steps you showed
you didn't give any indication that you configured LIRC. See the much
more robust instructions here:

I know you are running Lenny but the steps are still the same. The
Ubuntu documentation even has screen captures to guide you through the
process. Unless you have an urgent need, use the 'Debian way' (module
assistant) to make your life easier. Some newer versions of the
mceusb2 use newer vender:device ids so you may need to install from
source in that case. All but the newest will probably be in the Lenny
version.

This was the issue - <A HREF="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506693">http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506693</A><BR>

Used the sidux lirc-modules-source which then worked with m-a a-i lirc.<BR>
<BR>
The only problem was that initrc was not created in /etc/init.d<BR>
<BR>
So I put /usr/local/bin/lircd -d /dev/lirc0 into /etc/rc.local which got it working.
