Verify the permissions on the lirc devices are 666
I am pretty sure once I had to pass --permission=666
--device=/dev/lirc/lirc0 because the devices were created with 600
permissions and lircd was looking for /dev/lirc which was actually a
directory....

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.

Ok, when I try the symlink, it says /dev/lirc already exists.
Any ideas?
Removing the /dev/lirc and the doing the symlink goes
through, but still
when I start the frontend lirc locks.
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
