Yea, for me, the /dev/lirc/0 char device file just dissappears.

I presume you did at least check to make sure lircd was running? If so,
try running something like "lsof -c lircd" to see what device files it
has open.

mmm. I thought the loading of the module (lirc_i2c) created the device file and then once created you specify that device to lircd like...

lircd -d /dev/lirc/0


I didn't know about lsof though - thanks, In fact had to emerge it. results are...

myth1 ~ # lsof -c lircd
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE    SIZE      NODE NAME
lircd   5972 root  cwd    DIR        8,3    4096       128 /
lircd   5972 root  rtd    DIR        8,3    4096       128 /
lircd   5972 root  txt    REG        8,3   65032  83969178 /usr/sbin/lircd

lircd   5972 root    2u   CHR        1,3                 8 /dev/null
lircd 5972 root 3u REG 8,3 5 536871619 /var/run/lircd.pid
lircd   5972 root    4u  unix 0xc31070e0            209882 /dev/lircd
lircd   5972 root    5u  unix 0xc409ad80            209896 socket


with lircd running the modules are loaded but nothing using them..
myth1 etc # lsmod | grep -i lirc
lirc_i2c                8836  0
lirc_dev               12996  1 lirc_i2c



if I "modprobe -r lirc_i2c" and then "modprobe lirc_i2c" I see in the log..
Nov 16 03:10:16 [kernel] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61


but still only have
myth1 ~ # ll -d /dev/lirc*
srwxrwxrwx  1 dsailer lirc 0 Nov 16 02:48 /dev/lircd
prwxrwxrwx  1 dsailer lirc 0 Nov 14 13:28 /dev/lircm
