Sorry, I guess I somehow missed your question Dave: I do not see any
reason why the one included in the kernel fails. It seems to load
correctly. My imon device reamins blank though. With the one from the
dkms libraries text is displayed on my imon device.

If you could point me in the direction of better / more log files, I
would have time to dig around a bit.

lirc_imon.ko does not get installed through dkms

Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc

Dkms does not install the lirc_imon.ko from lirc_modules_source when the kernel gets upgraded (in current lucid). The dkms output reads:

lirc_imon.ko:
Running module version sanity check.

Error! Module version 0.6 for lirc_imon.ko
is not newer than what is already found in kernel 2.6.32-21-generic (0.6).
You may override by specifying --force.

Fact is that the lirc_imon.ko provided by the default kernel does not work with the following imon controller:

15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller

Manually copying the module built by DKMS solves the problem

sudo cp /var/lib/dkms/lirc/kernel-2.6.32-21-generic-i686/module/lirc_imon.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/updates/dkms/

It would be nice if dkms could copy this file regardless of the version available in the kernel (using the -f option?)
