Summary0000555: Missing import in ati-config-display breaks boot process
DescriptionOn a fresh install of CentOS 7 with Gnome (only updates and kernel-ml installed), installing kmod-fglrx will break the boot process. The reason is that ati-config-display tries to import ixf86config which will crash the script.

The system will stop the startup process after the (supposedly) last systemd target. Switching to another terminal doesn't seem possible.
Additional Information* As far as I could determine, ixf86config was available until EL 6.6 as pyxf86config, but not for 7.
* Might be the source of 0000550.
* Hardware is a Lenovo G50-45 80E300AVGE with a Radeon R2.

Will you please indicate the exact kernel, version and release that you were attempting to boot when this issue became apparent.

The issue is agnostic to the kernel, I can neither boot into 3.10 nor 3.19 (which makes sense since it seems to be the Python ImportError breaking stuff).

Could you please try the packages from http://wdl.lug.ro/fglrx ?

Mind that after boot you might need to
- disable glamor ( rename /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf )
- add the following section to xorg.conf:
 
Section "Files"
        ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx"
        ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection


Thanks

(I yum uninstalled glamor and had to use /usr/lib64)

I experienced the nice "Oh no, something has gone wrong!" screen before reaching GDM's login screen. When trying to switch to another TTY I get a bunch of randomly colored foreign characters.
You will probably need me to boot into a live system again to find the exact cause (which I'll do later).

Okay, the initial issue seems to be fixed indeed. I don't know what the policy is, but I guess the further investigations should go into a new issue?

Anyway, I'm adding today's messages (boot started somewhere around 14:30), xorg log, gdm log and xorg.conf. I was attempting to boot into 3.19.
I am clueless about the cause, but grepping Xorg.0.log for "-i failed" reveals this:

I noticed you booted kernel 3.19. Please note that ELRepo's kmod packages are kABI-tracking. They are built for RHEL and its rebuilds.

The kernel module provided by kmod-fglrx is compatible with stock kernels as provided by the distribution but is surely not compatible with kernel 3.19. therefore since you booted in 3.19, the module is not loaded and therefore Xorg complains with "(EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed. Probably kernel module missing or incompatible."

If you can reproduce your problem(s) while using the stock kernel, by all means please do provide feedback.

Anyway, we'll keep this bug open until I release the packages.

Sorry, I was unaware 3.19 is unsupported, booting into 3.10 works as expected.

Excellent, thank you for feedback. I need to tidy up the packages ( => mostly to persuade xorg to automatically look below /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx --- something which on my test machine it refuses to do ) and I will relese them to elrepo-testing. I would appreciate if you could retest the packages when that will happen.

fglrx-15.11 is now available in the ElRepo testing repository.
