I've been reading about a temporary solution to the kernel/Fglrx issue caused by the last kernel update, but I haven't read about any permanent solution to this issue. Anyone know anything about a permanent solution (new kernel update?, new Fglrx driver?) to this compilation error?

I'm simply trying to compile a vanilla kernel from Kernel.org, I've done it before, however "make menuconfig" returns an error after I've made my changes to the config file.
Code:
Why is make returning that error? I am using a 64-bit kernel.
I have an HP laptop running 11.3/KDE4.5.2, has integrated HD3200 ati graphics.
Yesterday, ATI version 10.10 fglrx driver was installed on the system, kernel was 2.6.34.7-0.4-desktop. I use the "build rpm" option with the downloads from ATI. All seemed running well.
I had installed the automatic recompile script posted by please_try_again after moving to 2.6.34.7-04, so today's new 2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop update was a chance to see it in action.
After the update and reboot, the X server restarted so I have to assume the automatic recompile script ran, although I did not see any messaging (place to look?).
However, some things did not seem "quite right". fgl_glxgears ran, but seemed slow (only 70 or so fps) pm-suspend failed to sleep the machine, I see the error message "s2ram_do: Device or resource busy" in /var/log/pm-suspend.log, which I think (?) is fglrx related but not sure why I think that. I moved to a root terminal, init 3, removed the fglrx rpm with yast, deleted the fglrx rpm and rebuilt a new one with ati....run. I then installed the new rpm (with yast), ran aticonfig --initial, then rebooted.
Basically, I am at the same level as above, fglrx installed and running, but slow and pm-suspend still not working.
So now I wonder if there is a new problem with the -5 kernel update, something like the excitement a couple weeks back when we had to patch the driver (or the kernel symbols) just to get a compile.
Can i assume someone has been able to cleanly update to 2.6.34.7-0.5 and get their fglrx running again?
An observation, which may or may not be related to my issues. The fglrx rpm installs a new /usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so, but in reviewing the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it never appears to load. Two other *dri*.so modules do load. There is no "dri" section in Xorg.conf; I seem to recall there being one a while back, but much seems to be changing there.
That's it guys. I have successfully installed the proprietary ati drivers in past 6.34 and 6.35 kernels but not in latest .6.36. I'm wondering if this have something to do with compatibility or not.
Installation log shows me some errors I can't recognize:
Code:

it was surprisingly much time:
This was the first time using AMD machine, i had experience with some P4 machine to have much shorter kernel compilation time.

what do i do in the wrong way? or is it the "feature" of the this old AMD?
I'm trying to get a fedora guest running reliable smp under VirtualBox 3.0.6. The VirtualBox manual says "Some Linux distributions, for example Fedora, ship a Linux kernel configured for a timer frequency of 1000Hz. We recommend to recompile the guest kernel and to select a timer frequency of 100Hz." So I tried recompiling the kernel. Being a responsible lad, when it came to setting the kernel specs:
Code:
# Polite request for people who spin their own kernel rpms:
# please modify the "buildid" define in a way that identifies
# that the kernel isn't the stock distribution kernel, for example,
# by setting the define to ".local" or ".bz123456"
#
# % define buildid .local
%define buildid .rim_for_vbox

The system is working fine (well, so far). But trying to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel add-ons still gives me
Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel. The current kernel version is 2.6.30.5-43.rim_for_vbox.fc11.x86_64. I'm pretty sure this is because my kernel doesn't match the development packagekernel-devel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11 (x86_64). So the key question is, how on Earth do I create a development package to match the responsibly-renamed kernel?

I am compiling a new kernel. I have successfully compiled it, how to modify grub.cfg. I am using ubuntu 10.10.
Can I use 'update-grub' ?
I tried using that and even its updating the grub with new kernel. But after I boot the new kernel its showing
The disk for / is not ready or does not exist
#and some statements# M for recovery ...
Is there any problem with kernel compilation and why is that coming ?
Why it asking me for options to be selected while I run: Code: make oldconfig.I am in verse to compile latest reased kernel 2.6.34-rc5 on Ubuntu 9.10?what i did is Just pressed "Enter" key ( i think it will dsiable everything?Not sure) and created a .config file.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a HP Pavillion dv5 laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 4200 series. It always worked fine with Ubuntu for as long as I can remember. However, at one point, something happened and truly made a majestic mess of things. It might've been extra repos I enabled with Ubuntu Tweak - I do not know. But something made it so that my system would not boot any longer.
And when I say "won't boot", this is what I mean:
- Durning a normal bootup, any entries (except Windows) selected with GRUB (or BURG, not even sure which one I'm using anymore) will spawn the Ubuntu loading screen.
- then try to start X (or GDM) 5 times. The screen goes to dark, black and back to the Ubuntu loading screen. Then it just stays there until I spawn another TTY.
I have no idea what is happening or why. There are no errors in my logs, and I'm truly at a loss here.
I've linked three files: Xorg.0.log, the output of dmesg and the GDM log:

Posting from my Windows 7 system. Once again an Ubuntu kernel update has broken X. Once again I cannot get into Grub2, despite putting in the hacks to lengthen the time it listens. I don't need instructions on how to fix it from Live CD. I'm going to try Gentoo or something, anything, different. I need a Linux distro that can survive regular updates and boot to desktop reliably.

Am I doing something wrong setting up my kernel. Issue on my gentoo box I have.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I'd like to use the latest kernel from repositories (at the present moment it's 2.6.35-23), that's why I've installed backports.
These are packages:linux-image-generic-lts-backport-maverick linux-headers-generic-lts-backport-maverick
But DKMS failed to build modules for fglrx: I think it's caused by old version of fglrx.
Every time the update-manager decides to upgrade the kernel my graphics driver is ****** up. I have had this problem in 10.04 and now in 10.10. Now I get dropped to the command prompt after an upgrade (I can also log in with fail-safe/low graphics mode). The problem is solved if I reinstall the package fglrx so nog big issue but it is rather annoying. What could be wrong? I am using ATI HD4770. I haven't tried open drivers yet.

September 20 2010? Is there a newer kernel module for fglrx? How can I get and install it?
I'm running Debian Squeeze/current fine with the default kernel & ATi's Catalyset drivers. I'm struggling to get the display drivers to work with the bigmem kernel as I've got 4GB ram on my machine so might as well try to enable it.
I can have my system work with the normal Squeeze kernel by installing the normal kernel headers & then FGLRX drivers, but after additionally installing the bigmem kernel & headers (linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem & linux-headers-2.6-686-bigmem) I cannot get the system to reach X after removing & then re-installing the video drivers.
I recently installed Debian Squeeze on Acer Aspire 5542 , it has a Ati Radeon HD 4200 graphics card
I want to install the fglrx drivers , I apt-get install fglrx-driver, fglrx-glx & fglrx-control , The packages & dependencies download fine but when apt tries to install them the fglrx-modules-dkms fails .
The Kernel is 2.6.35.
For quite a long time now, I haven't even needed to re-install video drivers most of the time. However, ever since version 2.6.36-0.dmz.4, they haven't been. I booted my system after installing that kernel, re-installed the video drivers, and when that didn't work, completely removed them and re-installed them, and it still didn't work. Well, I was told that the installation was successful but even after restarting it appeared that they weren't working. I installed 2.6.36-0.dmz.5 today and the same problem persists. I tried an older kernel version (2.6.36-4 something) and they worked fine.

I tried going into recovery mode and using xfix: bad idea. Then, I tried installing envy and reinstalling the drivers from there. That failed as well.
So now, when I try to manually remove the ati packages,(from command line in recovery mode) it doesn't let me, because of some problem with "fglrx-kernel-source" I can't configure, remove, or purge.
I have an ATI radeon HD 3400 series video card, and the open-source drivers make my computer run really hot. I tried installing FGLRX by using "Check For New Hardware Drivers", but it did not work, so I installed the ATI catalyst 10.5 package from AMD's website, and am using Xserver-xorg-core-1.7.6-2ubuntu7+backclear1 from k0ekk0ek's PPA so there is no lag when minimizing windows and such.
Everything was perfect until the 2.6.32-23 kernel update came along. I let it update, and rebooted, but the ATI driver no longer starts, even when I uninstall and reinstall it.
I am just using the 2.6.32-22 kernel for now, as the 2.6.32-23 kernel still runs hot without the ATI driver enabled. I would like to start using the new kernel at some point...
