[Bug 563727] Re: lirc_imon.ko does not get installed through dkms

[YorTheGreat]

I just found out I've made an error in the initial case: I need to
overwrite the original kernel version, not copy the lirc_imon.ko into
the updates, but I need to copy it into
/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/ubuntu/lirc/lirc_imon/.

To answer your question: I removed all the lirc_imon.ko files in
/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic, reinstalled the kernel package and did a
dpkg-reconfigure on lirc-modules-source. I then stopped lirc and LCDd
and did a rmmod on lirc_imon and lirc_dev.

At this point I only have one lirc_imon.ko in my
/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic due to dkms refusing to install its
version (I checked this, just to be sure):

Starting lirc now gives the following information in syslog:
Apr 16 10:32:33 localhost kernel: [  727.605729] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61 
Apr 16 10:32:33 localhost kernel: [  727.623131] lirc_imon: disagrees about version of symbol lirc_register_driver
Apr 16 10:32:33 localhost kernel: [  727.623136] lirc_imon: Unknown symbol lirc_register_driver

Needless to say that lirc fails.

There is also only one lirc_dev version available on the system, which
is in the original kernel location, NOT in the updates directory.

When I overwrite the original lirc_imon with the one from dkms
everything works.
