Hm, I cannot reproduce the crash, but you should remove "/dev/input/event*"
from the command, otherwise inputlirc will grab ALL devices, which is not what
you want. The "-n 'Media*'" option itself will scan all possible input event
devices for matches. So please try starting it as follows:
inputlircd -g -n 'Media*'
Can you also install input-utils and email me the output of the lsinput
command regardless of whether the above works or not?

The lirc package isn't needed for inputlirc to work, it should work fine
without it.
