Hello, we encountered a problem with the newest kernel for SL 4.x on our institute cluster: after installing the new kernel-smp-2.6.9-78.0.22.EL.i686 on our machines the ATI Catalyst 9.3/9.4 drivers crash when X is started. All kernel modules have been rebuilt suiting to the new kernel. The Xorg.0.log shows following error messages:
..... (WW) fglrx(0): Only one display is connnected,so single mode is enabled Symbol fbGetWinPrivateIndex from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol fbGetWinPrivateIndex from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol fbGetWinPrivateIndex from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o is unresolved!

Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting ..... Switching back to kernel 2.6.9-78.0.17.EL or even much older versions and rebuilding the fglrx kernel modules works fine. Does anyone know what has happend to the new kernel? Why can the symbols (I guess they have something to do with framebuffer access) not be resolved with the newest kernel update? Actualy I would expect bug-fixes to be included in the new kernels but no changes of interfaces etc. Any ideas (or new kernel version) are welcome. Cheers, Michael. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Phys. Michael Bontenackels III.
