One big reason for LIRC failing at startup (which I've experienced before) is that the device it is trying to use (specified in the LIRC daemon file) may not be present. The names of LIRC devices is controlled by udev when loading the LIRC drivers - sometimes /dev/lirc is created and sometimes /dev/lirc0 depending on the udev rule being used. When you have loaded the lirc_dev and lirc_i2c drivers, check your /dev directory to see which LIRC devices have been created. Then check the LIRC startup file and make sure the correct device is being used. Also check the user and file permissions for the devices and make sure they are accessible.
