[mythtv-users] Fw: LIRC is killing me!!!

[J. Scott]

Here are the sections from var/log/messages that  I thought might be of interest. This spans from booting the machine to running and then stopping IRW. I don't see any errors with respect to IRW, but there is the following line that occurs at some point during the boot process: 
  
Mar 29 21:48:19 192 kernel: lirc_dev: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted. 

  
Thanks.

What does your messages log say when your run IRW?  Do you see any 
error messages?
