Issues with Logitech Harmony

Suddenly was removed because it was moved from the kernel built-in to a kernel module. I think the same happened here, but i don't know what module is missing.

@Nakeman, @CurlyMo

this is relevant diff between 3.6.11+ (from march 2013 as last commit to .config I found yours) and current .config. this is relevant difference (filtering out kernel debug params, library routines, ciphers, filesystems … and other hopefully not important to RC).

-CONFIG_GENERIC_GPIO=y
-CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
-CONFIG_SERIAL_AMBA_PL011=y
-CONFIG_SERIAL_AMBA_PL011_CONSOLE=y
-CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y
-CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y
-CONFIG_I2C=y

all this is available as module and will be loaded with this command:

Code:

modprobe gpio-generic mousedev gpio_mouse amba-pl011 i2c-bcm2708

adding this to /etc/modules will make sure they are loaded before lirc will start.

Code:

gpio-generic
mousedev
gpio_mouse
amba-pl011
i2c-bcm2708

this should be comprehensive to all-in-kernel case.

with the command to load all found modules "-a" is missing at the end. otherwise list is taken as parameters to first module - that was the error. (also -L1 can be added between xargs and modprobe, no "-a" needed then).

((worst case would be to take 3.6.11+ config as is and with no changes - just make oldconfig - compile kernel and test. let's find test subject))
