Hi,
First time ARCH user, and I finally got my system up and running (!) with the open-source ati drivers and gnome3. UEFI systemd 64bit intel cpu radeon HD7XXX.
I then followed this guide AMD Catalyst - Disable kernel mode setting to try and install the proprietary AMD Catalyst driver and in the end disable Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) using 'nomodeset' .
But now when I boot I get a message saying "[FAILED] - failed to start Load Kernel Modules" and then the system finally hangs after starting gnome - usually around "[OK]-Reached Target Network" and then nothing...
I can 'ctrl-alt-delt' to restart though, and then when I get to my boot loader (gummiboot I believe) I can hit 'e' to edit my kernel settings:
initrd=\initramfs-linux.img root=/dev/sda1 rw nomodeset
Hit 'enter', but nothing changes - I still get the failed message about Kernel Modules on startup and then finally the system hangs.
What am I missing? Your help and understanding is, in advance, appreciated!
Ross
on edit - I should clarify that I did 'blacklist' radeon in modprobe.conf and added fglrx under /etc/modules.d/modules.conf
