Bug#406111: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686: i915 module loading failes with 'cannot initialize agpgart' error.
A few other remarks:
The installation was done with the Etch netinst daily build, downloaded
at 20061229. It is a new installation.
The reason I wanted to install this module (apart from the fact that
it worked on kubuntu, the other distribution I installed on this machine) was that
I needed agp support for the i810 X driver.
The exact output I got when modprobing for this module was:
Jan 8 20:48:00 testserver kernel: Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones
Jan 8 20:48:00 testserver kernel: [drm] Initialized drm 1.0.1 20051102
Jan 8 20:48:00 testserver kernel: [drm:drm_fill_in_dev] *ERROR* Cannot initialize the agpgart module.
No /dev/agpgart device was present after the install, and creating it (with
'mknod -m 666 /dev/agpgart c 10 175') also didn't work.
Geert-Jan.
