multi reboots to get lirc to work in F15...

[dwoody1]

The computer is setup for Mythtv. I have recently upgraded from F14 to 
F15.  The lirc works only after many reboots on F15.

Lirc worked perfectly on F14. Searching the archives on Fedora has 
yielded no information.

I have found others that have the same problem by doing web search but 
there were no solutions to be had.

The remote is a RC-6 Microsoft remote that has been in use for several 
years. lsmod shows:
ir_lirc_codec           3902  0
lirc_dev               12212  1 ir_lirc_codec
rc_core                16034  13 
rc_hauppauge,rc_rc6_mce,mceusb,ir_lirc_codec,ir_mce_kbd_decoder,ir_sony_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,ir_rc5_decoder,cx88xx,ir_nec_decoder

The last lines in /var/log/messages are:

Feb  8 17:14:08 star kernel: [    9.768401] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control 
driver registered, major 249
Feb  8 17:14:08 star kernel: [    9.856323] rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver 
ir-lirc-codec (mceusb) registered at minor = 0
Feb  8 17:14:08 star kernel: [    9.972748] rc rc1: lirc_dev: driver 
ir-lirc-codec (cx88xx) registered at minor = 1

Some times the log will show client removed but not always.

The upgrade to F15 was done with preupgrade.

Any help is appreciated,

David
