Re: [mythtv-users] Re: lircd starts fine, but crashes as soon as something tries to use it

I have the exact same problem on a fresh Fedora Core 4 system, lirc runs fine after I install it the first time, or if I reinstall it. But when I reboot, it is still running until something tries to access it (ie. MythTV). I'll try the symlink tonight.

It is also possible to use udev itself (it creates the /dev entries)
to create a symlink between /dev/lirc0 and /dev/lirc. If you're
interested in udev, the following is a useful read:
