Missing module serial_ir in kernel 5.8.4-200.fc32.x86_64 Everything worked in the previous version of the kernel (5.7.17-200.fc32.x86_64) Reproduce this issue: # modprobe serial_ir modprobe: FATAL: Module serial_ir not found in directory /lib/modules/5.8.4-200.fc32.x86_64 Workaround: Boot with kernel 5.7.17-200.fc32.x86_64
The same problem with the kernel-5.8.6-201.fc32.x86_64
The same problem with the kernel-5.8.7-200.fc32.x86_64
Kernel .config file now contains: ... CONFIG_IR_WINBOND_CIR=m CONFIG_IR_IGORPLUGUSB=m CONFIG_IR_IGUANA=m CONFIG_IR_TTUSBIR=m CONFIG_RC_LOOPBACK=m # CONFIG_IR_SERIAL is not set # CONFIG_IR_SIR is not set CONFIG_RC_XBOX_DVD=m CONFIG_CEC_CORE=m CONFIG_CEC_NOTIFIER=y CONFIG_MEDIA_CEC_RC=y CONFIG_MEDIA_CEC_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_CEC_SECO=m ... CONFIG_IR_SERIAL must be set to 'm' to have the homebrew IR driver for LIRC back. Why was this removed?
The Fedora kernel git repo has this module disabled for the Fedora 31, 32, 33 branches, and enabled again for master: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel/c/8bf7e7fde6b9176ccaac91a0c95464f326d8a008 " kernel-5.9.0-0.rc7.20200930gitfb0155a09b02.21 * Wed Sep 30 2020 Fedora Kernel Team <kernel-team> [5.9.0-0.rc7.20200930gitfb0155a09b02.21] - Merge ark-patches Resolves: rhbz# Signed-off-by: Justin M.

@jforbes can you backport the above change to Fedora 32, 33?
People can compile the kernel module out-of-tree for the moment: https://github.com/dwagelaar/kernel-serial-ir
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
