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
