Sounds like the kernel module isn't loading and therefore the daemon dies upon start up (though, why the manual modprobe and daemon start fails the first time I cannot say). Any debugging output from the lircd logfile? Does /dev/lirc0 get created when you modprobe (first and/or second time)? The only other thing you could try is another version of the /etc/rc.d/init.d/lircd script that I have that loads the kernel modules. It's the one I am using and I liked it better than the distributed version. Let me know if you want it and I can email it to you off-list. -- Harry O. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
