By some reason device /dev/lirc is not created. The module lirc_imon is loaded without any error:
linuxmce@dcerouter:~$ sudo modprobe -v lirc_imon
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/updates/dkms/lirc_dev.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/updates/dkms/lirc_imon.ko
and lsmod:
linuxmce@dcerouter:~$ lsmod |grep lirc
lirc_imon 22796 0
lirc_dev 20020 1 lirc_imon
usbcore 149616 6 lirc_imon,imon,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd
The weird thing is that. /dev/lcd0 exists and VFD display works. But both IR sensor and VFD display use the same module.
Any idea how to fix that?
