LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] ati diver (rad. 9600) cannot modprobe fglrx.ko

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.

........

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).
