Not sure how to jump in to this thread (I just subscribed), so I'll just
wing it. I'd like to post a query pertaining to this post about trouble
running lirc and getting bttv to load.

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/37166?search_string=bttv%20init_module;#37166

Was this problem ever resolved? I am really struggling with the same problem
and have searched far and wide to no avail.

I have a myth install created using Jarod's very nice guide. I have a
Hauppauge PVR 350 with the grey remote. Everything seems to be working
except lirc. I realize the 350 uses the ivtv driver but it looks like lirc
requires the bttv driver for auto-detection. Here's some history and some
error log info. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

When I run "modprobe lirc_i2c", I see the following in /var/log/messages
