I can send you a program that will display received ir-codes on hyperterm. I've got it lying around somewhere.
As for the database thing. I was just thinking that the init script is probably mounting the wrong partition for the second drive.
It probably must be /dev/hdb1; I set it up for /dev/hdb4, like on the first drive. I have only got one drive, so could anyone verify?
This would also account for some problems with displayserver on dual drive systems...
