Bug Description
Binary package hint: lirc
The udev rule
/lib/udev/
is causing a race condition. In the init script the drivers are loaded, which cause the udev rule to be executed which in turn restart the lirc. This leads to unreliable startup for lirc_serial or similar modules which are not loaded through udev/usb
I would suggest to either remove the udev rule or make sure the script can handle that
This is Ubuntu Karmic

The udev rule fires at every startup. Those lirc is started and then restarting itself right away. This together with https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ lirc/+bug/ 460027 causing problems.
