I have the same problem, I run ATI 9600XT card, was on ati 8.4 drivers and kernel 2.6.24-16-386. During upgrade to 2.6.24-17 2 nights ago I noticed a message indicating an inability to add the fglrx module to the kernel, and on reboot was able to log in but end up at white screen. I used the grub menu to boot back into the 2.6.24-16-386 kernel and upgraded the ati driver to 8.5. Still no luck starting the -17 kernel. Some investigation showed the update did not download the 2.6.24-17 kernel headers. I booted on -16 kernel and used package manager to download the 2.6.24-17 kernel headers, and at the end of the install, post processing invoked dkms and installed the fglrx module onto the -17 kernel heres my dkms status output now. fglrx, 8.493.1, 2.6.24-16-386, i686: installed fglrx, 8.493.1, 2.6.24-17-386, i686: installed however on rebooting to the -17 kernel i still get the white screen. this output from dmesg shows the following error that i spotted on the console 36.674638] fglrx: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module [ 48.207605] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). [ 48.231707] fglrx: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
