"Can't locate module radeon" error as I seem to be missing radeon.o ?
Hi All
I scribbled a while ago...
When I startx I get an error message "Can't locate module radeon"
X has been working fine for several months with my XF86Config-4 file. The problem is not likely to be due to any apt-get upgrades. I used the machine a few times yesterday and it was shutdown between uses. Then that evening I get the error when I try to start X.
modprobe: Can't locate module radeon
[drm] failed to load kernel module "radeon"
I'm running a 2.4.23 benh kernel and that hasn't been changed.
I can understand why X is failing as modprobe can load the radeon.o module but why would that suddenly fail when I hadn't changed kernels or other things?
I think that the kernel is certainly detecting the radeon is here is a
part of the messages boot log for ages ago, Nov 7th when it worked. For
this kernel i'm running I think the radeon is a part of the kernel and
not a module so I dont have a separate radeon.o The messages are
identical all the way to Dec 10th (today). Yet X does not work. So I
don't think there is any prob with my kernel. Besides it ain't changed.
So something is prob amis with my X.
