<div>So, with a recent software upgrade (apt-get dist-upgrade), a few problems seem to have been introduced into my system. I'm not entirely sure what the cause is, and was wondering if someone else is having similar trouble.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>First, the specs on my system:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Its a Pentium3 Fedora Core 3 (Kernel 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) system with a PVR350 - I use the tv-out on the tv tuner card.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When the system boots up, if you do a /sbin/service --status-all, it shows lircd running fine. As soon as you start a program that gets input from lirc (MythTV, irw, etc.) the remote does not seem to work (irw just returns to the command line with no output).
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>At this point, if you do a service --status-all you get the following:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>lircd dead but subsys locked</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I can restart lircd (/sbin/service lircd restart) and it restarts successfully. status-all shows that it's running, but again, nothing happens when you run irw.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've set my system up per jarod's Fedora 3 guide, and everything worked fine until the upgrade to the current kernel.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also noticed that for some reason, there is no /dev/lirc There is a /dev/lirc0 and a /dev/lircd. In /var/log/messages I see:</div>
<div> </div>

<div>Any ideas?</div>
