I am having similar problems with lirc not starting at boot. It will
start manually after I load the kernel module, and "service lircd
start" as root. One caveat for me is that Jarod's patch for
rc.sysinit-mm.diff doesn't work for me. It returns:
Hunk #1 FAILED on 206
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED
regarding the current thread I don't have a file named 10-lirc.rules in
/etc/udev/rules.d/, but there is one named lirc.rules
It contains this:
KERNEL="lirc[0-9]*", NAME="lirc%n"
KERNEL="lirc0", SYMLINK="lirc"
I am running FC5 and have followed Jarod's outline. Any thoughts would
be appreciated.

OOOOPPPS!
Correcting my own typos:
KERNEL="lirc[0-9]*" SYMLINK="lirc" GROUP="mythtv" MODE="0666"
