You need to haves look in /etc and find the modules autoload file. This lists kernel modules that are automatically loaded at boot. In that file you just put the module name - lirc_zilog. </div><div><br></div><div>I would imagine doing this might fix both your problems. Probably irexec is failing to start because the module for your remote isn't loaded. </div><div><br></div><div>Robert. </div></body></html>
