My guess is because LIRC doesn't ever seem to like to load properly under that kernel. Ever. You can modify your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file to try to get it to load properly. The problem is basically that the device is actually /dev/lirc0, but LIRC is looking for /dev/lirc. Making the rules file discussed in Jarod's guide doesn't work for me under that kernel (it does work under 2.6.10 kernels, but not 2.6.9-1.724_FC3 for some reason). Here's a copy of my rc.local file:
touch /var/lock/subsys/local ln -s /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc /sbin/depmod -a /sbin/modprobe ivtv /sbin/depmod -a /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c mythbackend & <<----This is optional. I just start my backend here b/c of other IVTV problems. This will set up a sym link between /dev/lirc0 and /dev/lirc. This is needed to address your error that says: Feb 8 16:30:35 Mythtv lircd 0.7.0[2917]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd Feb 8 16:30:35 Mythtv lircd 0.7.0[2917]: could not get file information for /dev/lirc Feb 8 16:30:35 Mythtv lircd 0.7.0[2917]: default_init(): No such file or directory The other stuff just makes sure that ivtv is loaded before LIRC (also necessary). Add that stuff above to your rc.local, reboot, and then try running /usr/bin/irw It should now load up and recognize remote control input. -Andy On Tue, 8 Feb 2005 13:48:22 -0800, Alex Harford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 8 Feb 2005 16:38:53 -0500, James Olsovsky wrote: > > > > Feb 8 16:30:35 Mythtv lircd 0.7.0[2917]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd > > Feb 8 16:30:35 Mythtv lircd 0.7.0[2917]: could not get file > > information for /dev/lirc > > Feb 8 16:30:35 Mythtv lircd 0.7.0[2917]: default_init(): No such file > > or directory > > Feb 8 16:30:35 Mythtv lircd 0.7.0[2917]: caught signal > > What do you get when you run the command ls -l /dev/lirc* > > This is what I get with a working setup.
