Hello,
I have an HP zv6000 with ATI mobility radeon xpress 200 series the
present driver is ati2mtag.sys Apr 01,2005. I installed F10 every things
went perfect and worked fine, but after the first update to
kernel-2.6.27.7.134 the screen gets fool of horizontal line just before
entering the PW. I was able to boot by selecting the previous kernel,
kernel-2.6.27.5.117, eventually the second update came which I was
hopping that it may correct the previous problem but it didn't happen.
I suspect that I may need an update driver, I checked ATI web side and
found a file "ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run" and the
instruction file "linux_cat812-inst.pdf". I got stuck at the first
instruction "sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh" not found
Any body there can help? I will appreciate very much.
Thank you

GNU/Linux doesn't work that way, you don't use drivers from the
manufacturer, the correct driver is already included.
You're seeing a bug in the kernel package. That bug has to be fixed. As a
workaround, try booting with the "nomodeset" flag:
1. hold down a key while booting so GRUB shows up
2. press the e key to edit the boot commands
3. press the e key on the first command (the kernel command) to get to the
kernel's arguments
4. append a space and the word nomodeset
5. press Enter to confirm
6. press the b key to boot the modified sequence
if that fixes it, you can edit your /boot/grub/grub.conf file to append
nomodeset to the kernel's command line as a permanent workaround. If it
doesn't fix it, then the bug is not in kernel modesetting (KMS), but some
other area of the kernel (probably DRI/DRM, the Direct Rendering
Interface/Manager).
In any case, please also file a bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com
against "kernel" with your findings, what you're seeeing is clearly a
kernel bug.
