I tried the "noapic" and I couldn't get a dhcp address to my nic.

when I try to compile the ATI fglrx modules I get:

/bin/sh: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-k7/scripts/gcc-version.sh: No such 
fil or directory
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-k7'

I upgraded to 2.6.12 kernel thinking that would help the hardware clock issue 
but it hasn't.  I tried the "no_timer_check" parameter, and that didn't help 
either.
