[mythtv-users] Can't get lirc to work properly

[nate s]

I was having this same problem; the issue being that LIRC was not able
to grab the port from the serial driver.  In my case, the reason for
this was that the 2 ports were on the same IRQ (which could not be
changed, it seems,) and, while either LIRC or the kernel serial module
is ok with 2 ports sharing IRQs, they were not ok with sharing an IQR
between the 2 modules.

In my logs, I got 
lirc_serial: irq 12 busy
or somthing of that nature
