I'm in the process of moving my backend to a new machine and am having<br>
issues getting the HDPVR blaster to work. I've followed the wiki page<br>
for enabling the transmitter and am not having any luck when inserting<br>
the lirc_zilog module. The module loads fine but does not create the<br>
/dev/lirc* device. Any suggestions on where to go from here? Here is<br>
my relevant system info, if more is needed, please let me know.<br>
