[mythtv-users] Start Automatically in RedHat 8.0

[Jason James]

Hmmm, have you checked
http://www.lirc.org/html/install.html#dependencies ?

Sounds like maybe your kernel serial port driver is grabbing your serial
port, preventing the LIRC driver from getting it.  You can either
rebuild your kernel with the serial port driver as a module (or
disabled), or you can use setserial to release the port before loading
the LIRC driver.
