'''Lirc_Serial'''

Many times when using the lirc_serial module, you have to use setserial to change the com port settings.
Most kernels are compiled with serial support, which causes the lirc_serial module to fail when loading.
This is because the kernel is using the Com ports IRQ and I/O.

To fix this run this command.

 setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none;

''Note: on Ubuntu (and possibly other distros) you have to install the "setserial" package before running the above command.''

<br>
You can add this line to your modprobe.conf or modprobe.d to prep the serial ports before the lirc_serial module loads.
 # Lirc
 options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3f8
 install lirc_serial /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none ; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_serial
