The module isn't loaded, so lircd can't connect to it.

Probably ;)
Just give the maintainers some time to build all the different modules, 
I ussually wait for all the kmdl's to be availbla before skipping to the 
next kernel, besides that I keep the old one around to be able to rollback.

So, just give it a little time :)
