No /dev/lirc when upgrading from FC6 from FC5.

[Gary D. <Gar...@co...>]

I am having a problem that I thought I already fixed.

The problem started when I upgraded to FC 6 from FC5.  Mostly everything 
is working okay except for lirc.  I can no longer use the remote on my 
150.  It all seems to be because I have no /dev/lirc directory.

The output is:

And also from the /var/log/messages:
Feb  3 15:59:40 SeaStorm lircd-0.8.1-CVS[2193]: lircd(userspace) ready

file or directory
Feb  3 15:59:40 SeaStorm lircd-0.8.1-CVS[2193]: caught signal

Any ideas with this?  the /dev directory has no /dev/lirc.

I used to have a file lirc.rules in the /etc/udev/rules.d directory with:
KERNEL="lirc[0-9]*",    NAME="lirc%n"
KERNEL="lirc0",         SYMLINK="lirc"
in it.  But they give errors now.

How can I make this link now.  The only thing in my /dev directory is:
ls -l /dev/lirc*

crw------- 1 root root 61, 0 Feb  3 15:59 /dev/lirc0
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root     0 Feb  3 15:59 /dev/lircd
prw-r--r-- 1 root root     0 Feb  3 15:59 /dev/lircm

Any help would be appreciated.
