You BIOS bug, message:

"[ 0.000000] Atom PSE erratum detected, BIOS microcode update recommended" in Dmesg.txt

Update tu BIOS

I believe that the microcode issue is irrelevant.

If you look at the end of dmesg, you should see the following (or equivalent) which indicates that the BIOS is up to date.

[ 22.356528] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.00 <email address hidden>, Peter Oruba

[ 22.514043] microcode: CPU0 updated to revision 0x219, date = 2009-04-10

[ 22.528018] microcode: CPU3 updated to revision 0x219, date = 2009-04-10

Anyway, I removed the lirc, mythbuntu-lirc-generator, and lirc-x packages and then reinstalled them.

The installation went cleanly and the error is no longer present. I don't know what caused the issue or what fixed it, but it is not in my way right now, so I have little interest in this issue.

My remote is not working, but I assume that is a local configuration problem I need to re-configure.

Thank you.

Hi, can you please try again with the latest lirc from zesty (a.k.a. upcoming 17.04 version), and set the status back to "new" in case you still experience such issue?
You can also try it from my ppa, where I backported it to xenial and yakkety releases (16.04 and 16.10)
