Description Raphaël Droz 2009-09-20 10:54:49 UTC

The dmesg result of
$ modprobe lirc_serial debug=1
is attached as emerge --info.
No freeze, and /dev/lirc0 exists but as I'm testing a homebrew serial receiver I can't be sure about the reasons of the silence of irrecord.

In the dmesg, an irrecord session says :
Sep 20 12:42:51 b1b1 kernel: [ 4986.884929] lirc_serial: Interrupt 4, port 03f8 obtained
Sep 20 12:43:04 b1b1 kernel: [ 4999.193818] lirc_serial: freed IRQ 4
(normal output I guess)


Reproducible: Always

on the lirc mailing-list :
"It's caused by local_irq_save(). It's bogus. Ignore it."
