I had a similar problem where lirc_serial wasn't automatically loading after a reboot despite /etc/modprobe.conf being correct. In the end I just added "modprobe lirc_serial && service lircd start" to my script that starts mythfrontend.

<font face="Arial">I did the FC-4 installation from Jarod's guide and
all is well except the remote. It passes the installation test:<br>
<br>
# /sbin/depmod -a<br>
# /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c<br>
# /sbin/chkconfig lircd on<br>
# /sbin/service lircd start<br>
$ /usr/bin/irw<br>
<br>
But it doesn't do anything after I reboot and load everything
automatically. How do I go about testing it? Thanks,<br>
Don<br>
<br>
PS - If I follow the same steps listed above after the reboot, irw
doesn't work. Does that make sense?<br>
