lirc-zilog

I followed these guides to configure a Hauppauge PVR, and after compiling the hpvr modules, I have this problem: (that also includes the zilog one)

# locate zilog
/lib/modules/3.2.0-29-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.ko
/lib/modules/3.2.0-34-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.ko
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-29-generic/include/config/lirc/zilog.h

sudo modprobe lirc_zilog
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_zilog (/lib/modules/3.2.0-34-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc/lirc_zilog.ko): Invalid argument

The PVR works and I can get a test video with sound. The remote does not. I want the transmitter to work so it can automatically change the channel on the cable box and find the video I wanted to record.

The LIRC sources are not on Ubuntu sources and so I can only guess at what commands I might have to use.

How do I resolve the error and get the remote working?
