Re: Kernel upgrade to 2.6.16.16 seems to have killed lircd

[Chris <chr...@pg...>]

I'm having exact same problem with mythfrontend, irexec does same.

I know this won't make you feel any better but it's nice to know I'm not
alone.

I couldn't find anyone else reporting this so made me question myself,
thinking that I just screwed up my config although it's still possible, i
doubt it.

Here is my post and it references a gentoo bug report which fixes some part=
s
of lirc with kernel 2.6.16 although I believe there are a few others.

good luck.
