Oh, sorry, didn't read carefully enough...

Hrm...

Having mythbackend active for multiple runlevels and lircd only active 
in 5 won't accomplish anything. The system only starts in one runlevel, 
it isn't a progression thing. Peek at /etc/inittab -- you're simply 
booting straight into runlevel 5.

Good.

None, other than writing a script and/or loading everything in the 
right order in rc.local, which really shouldn't be necessary, but... 
*shrug*

Just had another thought... It could be some sort of permissions issue 
that goes away once you're logged in, because of the way RH dynamically 
assigns device ownerships... (Just a shot in the dark before hitting 
the sack).

Ah, gotcha. I know all about so many projects, so little time... ;-)
