Well, that means that there is only one driver compiled into lircd.  
"default" seems to be the one used by all the drivers requiring kernel 
modules (including the lirc_serial module), so it seems that it was 
compiled correctly (as you said).

However, mode2 is connecting to a device (by default /dev/lirc) which is 
either associated with a different driver or at least not associated 
with the serial driver.  Are you running multiple instances of lircd or 
using a different device?  If so, you'll need to specify the appropriate 
device for mode2 (i.e. "mode2 --device=/dev/lirc1" or "mode2 
--device=/dev/lirc/0" or whatever).

What does lsmod give you?  Are there any other LIRC kernel modules 
installed?
