Hello,

I am using the latest Debian.
It uses devfs too.
I had the same problem.

I added lirc device creation in the lirc init script.

I picked the code from lirc installation script.

$ cat /etc/init.d/lirc
...
make_devices ()
{
        if [ ! -e /dev/lirc ]; then
                mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0
                chown root.root /dev/lirc
                chmod 660 /dev/lirc
        fi
        if [ ! -e /dev/lircd ]; then
                mknod /dev/lircd p
                chown root.root /dev/lircd
                chmod 666 /dev/lircd
        fi
        if [ ! -e /dev/lircm ]; then
                mknod /dev/lircm p
                chown root.root /dev/lircm
                chmod 666 /dev/lircm
        fi
}
...
case "$1" in
  start)
    make_devices
    ...
