I'm having the same problem. I now have myth working but my lirc is still messed up. The command '/sbin/services lircd status' returns "lircd dead but subsys locked" Here is what i did to get myth to work with ivtv. First i turned of mythbackend and lirc from starting at boot. Then in rc.local i had the commands to depmod -a, and modeprobe ivtv. I do the same for lirc and then start up lirc and mythbackend. This keeps ivtv and myth happy. I still have no idea why lirc is not working, if anyone has some insight as to what this ("lircd dead but subsys locked") means i'ld love to know. Hope this helps.

I'm at my whits ends here. I've reinstalled Fedora 3 times now and have gone through Mr. Wilson's guide everytime to the letter. (http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/printer-friendly.php)

Everything works fine (remote, picture, capture, etc) unless I reboot the system. Then I can never get everything back and working again. Both the lirc and ivtv will not load. I have to depmod -a and modprobe ivtv to get a picture back. Then it mutes the card so I have to /usr/bin/ivtvctl -y mute=0 to get sound. If I run /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl & mplayer /dev/video0 I can change channels on the card. But on MythTV it will not change the channels at all.

I could care less about the remote at this point. I just want my MythTV back and operational. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
