I tried the symlink, and it seemed to work... until i rebooted.<br>
<br>
So now I've got bigger problems. Like before, I uninstalled lirc via
yum and then tried to reinstall yum, which fixed the problem before,
but only until I rebooted.<br>
<br>
I did the following<br>
<br>
# yum remove lirc-kmdl-$KVER<br>
# yum remove lirc<br>
<br>
then I did<br>
<br>
# yum install lirc-kmdl-$KVER<br>
This line fails as it says there is no match for my kernel<br>
# yum install lirc<br>
This one goes fine<br>
<br>
Then I do the<br>
<br>
# /sbin/depmod -a<br>
# /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c<br>
No moduble lirc_i2c found<br>
# /sbin/chkconfig lircd on<br>
# /sbin/service lircd start [OK]<br>
<br>
Then when I run either irw or mythfrontend, I get "lircd dead, but subsys locked" again.<br>
<br>
<br>
Any ideas on this? Unfortunately I'm at work right now, so I can't put
the exact error messages in this email, but I will be able to later
tonight if anyone has any ideas. Thanks.<div><span class="e" id="q_106fecae83db5209_1"><br>

</div>After
a recent update I was also having this problem (using FC3) when the
symlink is set there was no problems, but the link was lost on reboot.<br>
<br>
I solved it on my setup by editing /etc/sysconfig/lircd:<br>
# Options to lircd<br>
LIRCD_OPTIONS="-d /dev/lirc0"<br>
<br>
This then gets lircd to look at the already existing /dev/lirc0 rather than the missing /dev/lirc<br>
