I just upgraded the kernel on my mythbox to 2.6.28. As part of this,
lirc (0.8.4 - which was working fine some weeks before I changed the
kernel) was rebuilt against the new kernel without error.

However, inserting the lirc_mceusb2 module and starting lircd doesnt
give any lirc nodes in /dev except for /dev/lircd. Previously I
had /dev/lirc0. Ive gone back to the older 2.6.23 kernel - now there is
no /dev/lirc0 with that one also, either before or after rebuilding
lirc

Any clues on where lirc0 has gone?

I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel...
but it was just some sod with a torch bringing me more work!

Thanks Niel,
the symptoms are the same, but I know I need a kernel module and the
module is loaded, but no node is formed except the /dev/lircd from lircd
itself. It looks like udev is not triggering node creation when the
mceusb module is loaded. Will keep looking ...
