Kernel Panic while trying to configure 2.6.16 for fglrx driver in Gentoo

Mirag3 · 05-22-2006, 08:09 PM

So, im trying to install the fglrx (ATI proprietary) driver in my gentoo system. However, after following the directions at http://odin.prohosting.com/wedge01/g...aq.html#kernel and building the new kernel, I recieved a "kernel panic: interrupt" when trying to boot the newly compiled kernel. If you need it:

I have also built in the ntfs and ndiswrapper modules, if that is needed. I'll try and get more info on the kernel panic, but it disappears almost right away.

nothing - like usual the system just freezes. Problem is i can only go a couple lines up because my terminal is really small. basically, its a lot of hex, i dont know if that helps.

revert back you your old kernel and try to rebuild your kernel exactly as the kernel howto says.
