I'm not sure if these alias lines are required for new versions of
LIRC which use different major numbers for their nodes. Jarod will
know for sure.

There's a path error in the last line - it should be:

install lirc_serial setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none; /sbin/modprobe
--ignore-install lirc_serial

The driver to use with the lirc_serial module is "default", not "lirc_serial".

You have a typo in the last line above - it should be:

/sbin/modprobe lirc_serial >/dev/null 2>&1

I'd also check the permissions on the file after you've corrected it.

Due to the typo above I think - I bet it'll work when you fix these errors.

Cheers,
Nick
