Lirc modules are not always loaded

[pcernocky]

From /etc/init/lirc.conf the /etc/lirc/hardware.conf script is executed where dmesg output is parsed like this: DMESG="$(dmesg)". But at this time dmesg not always contains information about IR remote.

The DMESG variable contains:

[   10.144464] bcm2835-cpufreq: switching to governor powersave
[   10.144496] bcm2835-cpufreq: switching to governor powersave

[   11.683981] udevd[569]: starting version 175

Sometime it ends here, but sometimes it continues with:

[   15.089879] IR LIRC bridge handler initialized

If dmesg contains the longer output then lirc modules (lirc_dev and mceusb) are properly loaded and my remote works well. In the other case the remote works only partially (only few keys) like in https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/440.

@pcernocky

can you try edit /etc/init/lirc.conf and change 1st line to:

start on stopped module-init-tools and stopped udevtrigger

I've tried it, rebooted about 15 times and it works good. Thanks a lot.
