OK. That helps a bit. The module should be loaded by my
	/etc/sysconfig/lirc.modules script.
However, the syslog shows the following error messages:
		 kernel: lirc_gpio: Unknown symbol bttv_get_cardinfo
		 kernel: lirc_gpio: Unknown symbol bttv_get_gpio_queue

So, not sure what is causing this but this seems to be the root cause
now of my problems.
