Hi,
I'm trying to run the ati driver for Radeon 9600.
I'm running Salckware 12.2 with 2.6.27.7 kernel.
Here is a preamble from the ati installer
Code:
label="ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.593"
MS_COMMAND="./makeself.sh /tmp/fglrx_installer_img
/tmp/fglrx-8.593/ati-driver-installer-8.593-x86.x86_64.run
ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.593 ./ati-installer.sh"
MS_VERSION="2.1.3"
DATE="Wed Mar 18 11:07:25 EDT 2009"
OSTYPE="linux-gnu"
Here is the installer syslog
Code:
[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
[Message] Kernel Module : Found kernel module build environment, generating kernel module now.
AMD kernel module generator version 2.1

........
now an interesting part
Code:

done.
You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.
- recreating module dependency list
- trying a sample load of the kernel modules
failed.
[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to install compiled kernel module - please consult readme.
Let try 'modprobe'
Code:
root@enzo:~# modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.27.7/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fgl rx.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
'dmesg' tells
Code:
root@enzo:~# dmesg | tail
fglrx: Unknown symbol pci_disable_msi
fglrx: Unknown symbol pci_enable_msi
Have no idea what are these 'pci_disable/enable_msi'. Is there a workaround?
To force insert? Or maybe I should look for an earlier version of the driver
(with a matched version of a precompiled kernel module). Is there a way to extract only
the precompiled kernel module from the installer (to avoid the compilation). Then I may to force
an insert (don't care about mismatches).
