How To Recover From A Botched Graphics Card Driver Install

OK,

Lastnight I decided to finally attempt to install the dedicated ATI/AMD Catylist drivers. After all I was successfull with the HP drivers, right...

No matter which grub selection I make, getting in is broken, except of course for the Windows XP Pro x64 entry, that works just fine. I'm here with you today, because of the Fedora 21 Live DVD, (slooooww).

Here is the drivers log file:

[Reboot] Kernel Module : dracut
==========================================================

I just rebooted without attempting to configure the card, as per the ATI/AMD warning stating that it's important to do so, because my thinking was derailed due to seeing errors, and the install program said I needed to reboot. Afterall, I just couln't believe that with a "Failed to compile kernel module" error, it would actually keep the changes I'd made, that surely Linux had a failsafe in place for such circumstances. In other words, I'm also a newbie, and just don't know how many hoops of fire one has to jump through to be at peace with linux.

Can anyone please help be get back into my install, I've already set up so many things, there's just got to be a way, right?

Thanks in Advance!

dnw is a download tool for ARM. Maybe secbulk is it's driver. I don't know much about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Linux Kernel Module Installation And Other Questions Related To Kernel Module Install

I have installed Linux 3.5 kernel and have compiled e2fsprogs as well. I have my own version of ext3 file system - lets say it is myfs. I have compiled myfs as well. Now I have few questions:

1.How to insert myfs module and where? When I do modprobe myfs (.ko file) it says module not found. When I simply do insmod myfs.ko it works but I am not sure where is it putting the .ko file. Also the displays I have added (on mkdir call) are not showing up (kernel debug level is also set to 8) when I try to create a directory in mounted folder

Makefile in myfs directory looks like this:

KERNEL_TREE ?= /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)

obj-m := iext3.o

iext3-objs := balloc.o bitmap.o dir.o file.o fsync.o ialloc.o inode.o \
ioctl.o namei.o super.o symlink.o hash.o resize.o ext3_jbd.o \
xattr.o xattr_user.o xattr_trusted.o acl.o xattr_security.o icefs.o \
transaction.o commit.o recovery.o checkpoint.o revoke.o journal.o

all:
make -C $(KERNEL_TREE) M=$(PWD) modules

clean:
rm -rf *.o *~ core .depend .*.cmd *.ko *.mod.c .tmp_versions *.markers *.order *.symvers

and I am compiling myfs from my own directory: /home/myname/soft/myfs.

Also, I don't see any ext2/ext3/ext4 directories in /lib/modules/linuxversion/kernel/fs/ -- not sure if this is right or wrong.

2.Mount is working fine. I can see myfs is mounted on /dev/sda3 by doing df -a. When I unmount It says - umount: /home/..../mnt: not mounted and then if I do df -a the file system is unmounted. This is strange as its unmounting but still throwing error.

Some Background: Directory where I have everything: /home/soft myfs/ mye2fs/ Linux-3.5/ mnt/

Step1: cd Linux-3.5 --> 1) make 2) make modules 3) make modules_install 4) make install 5) reboot

Step2: compile myfs (my version of ext3) and insert the myfs kernel module --> cd myfs/ --> make --> insmod myfs.ko

Step3: compiled mye2fs for mkfs

Step4: use mye2fs to create myfilesystem on a device --> mount --> test printk statements put under myfs modules

Unable To Run VMware Player 10 On Fedora 21???

When I start the VMware Player on Fedora 21, I am unable to execute the VMware Player 10. It is throwing errors at me.
Here is the error message log when I run the VMware Player GUI startup.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

What Does Kernel Refer To Load Modules At Boot Time/

lsmod is command to list loaded modules and I referred man page of lsmod that shows it refers to /proc/modules file. In terms of my os platform, Ubuntu, almost available modules are in /lib/module directory. I think OS kernel naturally loads modules in there. So, What does kernel refer to load modules at boot time?

Is there any files to be refereed for loading or mechanism can't know easily for end user?

Need Kernel Header File

Hi folks,

I'm trying to install the drivers for my "legacy" nvidia graphics card.
I've downloaded the file from nvidia's website to install the driver, but during the process I get this message...

Kernel header file ' /lib/modules/3.13.0-37-generic/build/include/linux/version.h ' does not exist .

The most likely reason is the kernel source files in ' /lib/modules/3.13.0-37-generic/build ' have not been configured.

Anyone know how to configure this file? I've been working on this for a few days now...it's getting old!

Thanks for your help.

The output of makefile is as follows:

How To Know The Loading Sequence/time Of Modules During Boot?

Hello,
the "lsmod" give the list of the loaded modules/drivers.
How to know when was theier loading time (start/end) ?
Is there any existing log file where that information can be seen ?
For another topic, see http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post5362257, I am thinking the unfinished loading of a specific module (ehci-pci or other pci driver) or the loading of a module before another one, could disturb the loading of a module e1000e during a cold boot.
Thanks a lot for any help.

Kernel Compilation Error : In "make Modules_install"

Hello all,
i'm trying to upgrade my 2.4.x to 2.6.x ( on slackware 10.0)
i've experience of compiling 2.4.x to 2.4.x.

so the final steps were..........

make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install ( now here its showing error )

last lines of "make modules"
.........
LD [M] net/sched/sch_prio.ko
CC net/sched/sch_red.mod.o
LD [M] net/sched/sch_red.ko
CC net/sched/sch_sfq.mod.o
LD [M] net/sched/sch_sfq.ko

LD [M] sound/soundcore.ko

root@bond:/usr/src/linux# make modules_install
ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory
make: *** [_modinst_] Error 1
...............

i used the "config" from the second cd of slackware 10.0.
inside somewhere in "testing" folder.

A person asked me this

Code:

Did you upgrade your module-init-tools?
It's necessary if you go from 2.4 to 2.6

the version for it is :
Code:

root@bond:/home/bond# depmod -V
module-init-tools 3.0
root@bond:/home/bond#

so i don't think i need to upgrade it.....

now experimently i tried to upgrade witheut loading any "config"
everything worked fine in that case...

so what could be the problem.........any problem with that "config"???

if required......i can post that "config" too.

regards
