This is what I have done to fix lirc.. I am not sure why modprobe does not
load it properly sometimes. When I boot, I go to the command line and issue
modprobe lirc-dev
modprobe lirc_i2c
lircd
lircmd
That fixed the problem for me. It recreated the devices and link them
properly.

Subject: RE: [mythtv-users] /dev/lirc missing during FC4 setup
I'm having a very similar problem. (PVR 150 retail)
Initially, following Jarod Wilson's instruction to the letter, my setup
is working just fine, and the remote works.
/dev/lirc0 exists, and /dev/lirc points to it. There's also /dev/lircd
I can watch live tv, play music, etc ... just fine.
And suddenly, while watching live TV, I go to change the channel... The
remote simply stops responding.
only /dev/lircd is left
trying irw, it simply exits.
mythbackend & mythfrontend don't echo any error messages.
nothing new in /var/log/messages
nothing in modprobe.conf has changed, no software was updated.
reloading the modules or rebooting doesn't solve the problem. the
devices are simply never created ...
--Coutch
lircd and lircmd are not found when I attempt to run them. I thought
that lircd was a service. Normally I run it by /sbin/service lircd
restart. It starts but will die the second I attempt to run irw.
What I'm curious about is why lirc_i2c is not creating the device that
is needed.
When I plug the IR receiver into the 150, if I leave it halfway plugged
in, the red IR transmitter comes on and stays on. If I plug it all the
way in, it turns off. Which way should it be?
Also, I'll post by modules.conf as soon as I can. Hopefully someone
could point out something that I'm doing wrong.
Thanks again.
Mark
