Question: Is this a custom kernel build? If so, did you enable |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
--- enable loadable module suppot |
| 52 |
------ module versioning support |
| 53 |
or |
| 54 |
------ source checksum for all modules |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
If so, turn them both off and rebuild the kernel and try to load the fglrx |
| 58 |
module again... |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
What happens is, your closed source, binary, module does not have the correct |
| 61 |
credentials for it to be installed... Thus the "operation not permitted" |
| 62 |
complaint... |
