I really doubt your issue is with the hardware, especially if the remote 
receiver works on another machine.  To run lircd in the foreground run 
lircd --nodaemon.  You never mentioned what distro you are running but 
in the default LIRC install the 2nd program is called 'irexec' not 
'lirexec', so if your other machine is running a different distro the 
binary may be irexec on your silverstone (and may be running, your ps 
grep wouldn't have seen it).  I really doubt that is your problem either 
unless you are using irexec to execute scripts external to Myth.  If 
lircd is running Myth should be able to connect to the lirc socket and 
receive keypresses without any helper programs. 

So your issue is either:
A) The device modules are not loading right
B) Lircd is not connecting to the correct device
C) You do not have a valid lircrc file for Myth.


To debug A), try the following:

#/etc/init.d/lirc stop (might be /etc/init.d/lircd on depending on distro)
#rmmod lirc_i2c
#rmmod lirc_dev
#modprobe lirc_i2c
#/etc/init.d/lirc start
#irw
<start pressing buttons, you should see output>

If you do not see output from irw you have a problem in your base lirc 
configuration.  Check dmesg for errors.  Run lsmod | grep lirc to make 
sure the modules are loading.
