So now I've got bigger problems. Like before, I uninstalled lirc via yum and then tried to reinstall yum, which fixed the problem before, but only until I rebooted.

I did the following

# yum remove lirc-kmdl-$KVER
# yum remove lirc

then I did

# yum install lirc-kmdl-$KVER
      This line fails as it says there is no match for my kernel
# yum install lirc
      This one goes fine

Then I do the

# /sbin/depmod -a
# /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c
      No moduble lirc_i2c found
# /sbin/chkconfig lircd on
# /sbin/service lircd start      [OK]

Then when I run either irw or mythfrontend, I get "lircd dead, but subsys locked" again.


Any ideas on this? Unfortunately I'm at work right now, so I can't put the exact error messages in this email, but I will be able to later tonight if anyone has any ideas. Thanks.

Does the LIRC log give any useful info when it fails now?

You can also start lircd using the parameter --device=/dev/lirc0 -
does this work at all?

After a recent update I was also having this problem (using FC3) when the symlink is set there was no problems, but the link was lost on reboot.

I solved it on my setup by editing /etc/sysconfig/lircd:
# Options to lircd
LIRCD_OPTIONS="-d /dev/lirc0"

This then gets lircd to look at the already existing /dev/lirc0 rather than the missing /dev/lirc
