Hi,

I am using FC4 and am trying to get lirc working correctly. I tried the knoppmyth install but id freaked out about my second ide drive and well I wanted to see if i could get this thing going quickly. I just so happened to have FC4 around, so i tried that method. Yes i realize this may be off knoppmyth topic but I'm hoping someone can help me. I've used the wilsonet tutorial but it does nto seem to help me. When my box boots the service lircd kind of starts then hangs. From a fresh boot up if i type in "irw", it returns me to a command line instead of reading my remote.
If i stop the service:
# service lircd stop
then I start the lirc_i2c module:
# modprobe lirc_i2c
then restart the service:
# service lircd start
That makes everything happy and my system works again. The remote functions as needed and I couldn't be happier. But how in the workd do i get it to boot correctly without doing all those steps.

Heres my hardware:
P4 1.7Ghz
1GB Ram
2 40GB HD's
PVR-150
Asus Mobo

Heres a copy of my modprobe.conf:

alias eth0 sis900
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ohci-hcd
# nvidia kernel module
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-8178
alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-8178
# ivtv (PVR-150)
alias char-major-81 ivtv
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias tveeprom tveeprom-ivtv
alias tuner tuner-ivtv
alias msp3400 msp3400-ivtv
alias tda9887 tda9887-ivtv
# lirc module refrence
alias char-major-61 lirc_i2c
install lirc_i2c /sbin/modprobe ivtv; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_i2c

This is the last thing to get core functionality working from boot up. I would really apreciate any help at all !!!!!
