following Jardods great doc, I have been able to get most of MythTV working (except for lirc, and tvout...)

doing the following seams to have worked..
# /sbin/depmod -a
# /sbin/modprobe lirc_dev
# /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c

but when executing
# /sbin/chkconfig lircd on

I simply get..
error reading information on service lircd: No such file or directory

looking through the email archives I have not been able to find a solution this..

any suggestions on how I may be able to diagnose this problem??

here is my modules.conf file so far..
