    hi
    thanks for your reply

    I just figured it out late last evening.

    my problem was not having
    lirc-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5-0.8.1-62_cvs20060930.fc5.at

    I was trying to use:
    yum -y install lirc-kmdl-$KVER

    but it wont find it or install finally this worked:
    yum install lirc-kmdl-`uname -r`

    thank you
