[linux-dvb] Re: Udev failing to create dvb device nodes

Hello,

First, i think you checked http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/ , but i'm  putting it again, just for the record.

Well, here lirc works like a charm with udev

Add the rule below in /etc/udev/rules.d

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/00-lirc.rules

KERNEL="lirc[0-9]*",	NAME="lirc/%n"

Then you'll find yourself with a /dev/lirc/0.

Check your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and change the line DEVICE=/dev/lirc to
DEVICE=/dev/lirc/0

Reboot, make sure that your lirc modules are loaded (or set in the kernel), restart lirc and you should be done :)

Thanks,

Philippe
