I forgot to mention that you need to run "update-modules" after installing the lirc-modules deb, but it appears you knew that.
In fact, I think the 'unresolved symbols' message appears at this stage.  Check the exact details of this error message - I recall that it may refer to some other modules (TV tuner card modules??) and has nothing to do with the lirc driver.

FIR-capable IrDA chips should be able to operate in the slower SIR mode, but you may have to change a BIOS setting to achieve this.

Try to load the lirc driver and see what happens -
modprobe lirc_sir irq=10 io=0x3e8  (these settings are correct for my hardware)

If there are no error messages, chances are you can now run one of the lirc utilities and start doing something useful with it.

I didn't know about running 'update-modules'... :)

I was unable to copy the entire error message as I havent enabled middle button mouse emulation, yet.

The only IR related settings in the bios were, serial port number, IRQ and DMA.

Will have another go soon. Cheers again for the files.
