Comment 6 for bug 658496

I have attached config files from within /etc/lirc.

I tried changing:
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_i2c"
in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to:
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_zilog"
Doing sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart, seems to get stuck on "Loading LIRC Modules". I stopped it after 5 minutes of sitting there.

Changing the line back to the original and restarting lirc logs the following in /var/log/syslog:
