lircd not working after reboot in ubuntu

[andy j. <do...@gm...>]

I can't get lirc working after a reboot in Ubuntu Jaunty.

I have an iMon 0038 receiver, so I uninstalled lirc 0.8.4a with
apt-get and installed latest CVS using checkinstall (not all buttons
on my RM100 remote worked with 0.8.5).  lircd/irw work fine.  Then I
put the 0.8.4a lirc script back into /etc/init.d/ and used update-rc.d
to set it up.

After a reboot, lirc_dev and lirc_imon are loaded but lircd isn't
running, /dev contains only lirc0; missing lirc, lircd and lircm.  The
only way I can get it to work again is to uninstall/reinstall.

Am I  missing something, or is there an updated init script?
