Yes. Your ivtv driver must be loaded up before lirc_i2c can find the IR 
receiver. I just load up mythbackend before lirc (S86 vs. S90), but you 
could also kludge a modprobe lirc_i2c into your lircd init script, 
which when modprobing lirc_i2c would also load up ivtv, because of the 
add above statement in modules.conf.

And "homebreweverything"? Not if you're using Red Hat... Try LFS (or at 
least Gentoo) if that's really your mantra. ;-)
