ati in -current upgrade
First, thanks to Pat and his team for their hard work.
Next, I have an Ati Radeon Xpress 200M on my laptop, and since Ati droped support for it, I depend on the radeon module from the kernel. Since todays upgrade, I am unable to start X (there are errors with "modprobe radeon"). Has anyone else experienced this problems? This is the error I get: Code:
WARNING: Error inserting i2c_algo_bit (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.ko): Invalid module format |
Need more information!
It would be useful to know which distro you are using, or if it is a custom distro like (LFS), and did you compile the kernel or just download it from your distro repos?
|
I said -current, so it is Slackware 13 Current, since we are in the Slackware forums. Plus in my signature, is posted the distribution I use.
|
I have the same issue with intel driver. Perhaps someone knows the solution?
|
When you upgraded the modules, you also upgraded the kernel, right?
|
yes.
|
Strange... I only saw this happens when loading a module compiled against another kernel version. Look if you are booting from 2.6.33 (uname -r). Check if, for some distraction, you installed the modules for the right architecture (32 or 64bit).
|
Well I can assure you that the radeon driver loads and works fine in 2.6.33 as I'm using that currently on two workstations. Are you using a kernel you built yourself or a packaged one (I'm not sure what -current currently uses as I'm still on 13.0)? Does anything else show up in 'dmesg'?

Check that you have the same version kernel and modules packages. It can happen sometimes.
|
I upgraded full, even reinstalled all the kernel packages.

Exact same problem
Today's upgrade totally trashed the radeon/drm/ttm etc... kernel modules.
Using the -smp kernel image + modules from -current gives the following errors (other modules loads fine, except radeon and its dependencies) # modprobe drm FATAL: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko): Invalid module format # modprobe radeon WARNING: Error inserting i2c_algo_bit (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/drivers/i2c/algos/i2c-algo-bit.ko): Invalid module format WARNING: Error inserting agpgart (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.ko): Invalid module format WARNING: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko): Invalid module format WARNING: Error inserting drm_kms_helper (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko): Invalid module format WARNING: Error inserting ttm (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm.ko): Invalid module format FATAL: Error inserting radeon (/lib/modules/2.6.33-smp/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko): Invalid module format The installed and relevant packages versions are: kernel-firmware-2.6.33-noarch-1 kernel-headers-2.6.33_smp-x86-1 kernel-huge-smp-2.6.33_smp-i686-1 kernel-modules-smp-2.6.33_smp-i686-1 kernel-source-2.6.33_smp-noarch-1 module-init-tools-3.11.1-i486-1 |
I was having similar issues with the nvidia driver. Take a look at your kernel .config file and see if you have this:
Code:
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y Hope this helps! |
rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.33
upgradepkg --install-new --reinstall /{path to your local slackware mirror}/slackware64/a/kernel-modules-2.6.33*.t?z should do the trick. |
