Details
certain configurations of lirc are broken by SERIAL being
built in to the kernel. a workaround is available, but it's
a hackish solution. serial should be removed from the kernel
and moved to a module.
a mkinitcpio hook serial or serial_console should be added for the individuals who use a serial console. |
This task depends upon
setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
modprobe lirc_serial
which means you can't run lircd from init, you have to run it from rc.local after entering those commands. the only OTHER option would be to re-build the kernel without serial support, and that should be managed by the distro since serial as a module is sufficient for most people and uses.
And about what SERIAL option(s) are you talking? There is no CONFIG_SERIAL but a lot of CONFIG[_*]_SERIAL[_*].
