Hi Andy,
I too have this problem, I found this command somewhere and it works for me
/usr/sbin/lircd -d /dev/lirc/0
After I boot the computer I run the following commands to get
lircd working again
/sbin/service lircd stop (usually faills, but it doesn't matter)
/sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c
/usr/sbin/lircd -d /dev/lirc/0
and then
/usr/bin/irw just to make sure the remote is working, hope this helps you....
