[SOLVED] can't load fglrx during booting

Question

I installed ati proprietarity driver by  this manual and it seems working. I rebooted to sure that fglrx loads without errors, set catalyst settings, graphics worked fine, but after next reboot I saw this:
Loading User-specified Modules [Busy]
4.825619] intel ips 0000:00;1f.6: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turb disabled8
5.417268] brcms_module_init: register returned 0
ROR: could not insert 'fglrx': Invalid argument
[FAIL]
I am totally new to linux and ask to your qualified help..

Answer 1

Hi again! As Angelsoul writed, I didn't install the catalyst_hook, and now it really seems to be a kernel problem, becouse during the installation catalyst_hook:
Failed!!! Check out log: /var/log/catalyst-install.log
Automatic re-compilation is enabled now.
Answer 'Yes' whenever pacman ask you about updating
'linux-headers' in first place
Provide headers to your kernel ie:
linux-headers if you are using linux.
Most of custom kernels provides own headers.
Add nomodeset to your kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst , ie.:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda1 ro nomodeset

If experiencing problems with building module or using more than
one kernel use catalyst_build_module command as root, more info:
# catalyst_build_module help

[root@metalex-pc metalex]# catalyst_build_module help
usage: /usr/bin/catalyst_build_module {version|all|remove|remove_all|auto|autooff}
- with no specified kernel version it will use the current kernel version to build module
- all will try to build fglrx modules for all working system's kernels
- remove is removing unused fglrx modules and all empty /lib/modules/* directories
- remove_all is removing all fglrx modules and all empty /lib/modules/* directories
- auto will turn ON 'auto re-compilation of fglrx module with every kernel update'
- autooff will turn off auto re-compilation of fglrx module

Please, tell what I should do? Download kernel headers and run catalyst_build_module? Where I can download it?
