After I updated using apt-get update and apt-get<br>dist-upgrade, lirc seems not to be working. I searched<br>the archived and there was some discussion at the<br>beginning of the month with FC4, but so solution was<br>posted. For some reason, /dev/lirc is not being
<br>created. Instead there is /dev/lircd. When trying to<br>load the module manually with modprobe lirc_i2c, the<br>module won't load. From the log files:<br><br>----<br>Oct 30 17:39:38 star lircd-0.7.2[2654]: lircd(any)
<br>ready<br>Oct 30 17:39:38 star lircd: lircd startup succeeded<br>Oct 30 17:39:57 star lircd-0.7.2[2654]: accepted new<br>client on /dev/lircd<br>Oct 30 17:39:57 star lircd-0.7.2[2654]: could not get<br>file information for /dev/lirc

I don't know if this is the same problem, but I have a FC3 machine, and
I did a yum update a couple of days ago. It installed kernel
2.6.12-1.1381_FC3, and when I boot this kernel it gives me no
/dev/lirc0, only a /dev/lircd, so lirc doesn't work.<br>
<br>
If I reboot to the previous kernel, 2.6.12-1.1376_FC3, /dev/lirc0 and /dev/lircd are both created and lirc works.<br>
<br>
I'm using a custom built lirc_serial device, so I assumed the
lirc_serial device hasn't been compiled into the updated kernel. Could
this be your problem? Can you try rebooting to an older kernel?<br>
