Ok, I tried it again and it doesn't lock anymore but my mapping doesnt work and it seems to not want to remount as read only
.
This is the output on the serial port & my installation.

This is my empeg_ircodes file

# Do not remove this line. It is needed by kernel. Syntax: :
0x00b9460a:0x00ad5211
0x00b9460b:0x00ad5212
0x00b9460c:0x00ad521c

0x00b94615:0x00ad520b
0x00b94614:0x00ad520a

And this is the init.ir_trans I used.

#!/bin/bash
mount -n -o remount,ro /
cat /etc/empeg_ircodes > /dev/ir
exec /sbin/init.empeg

What did I do wrong?
