Module fglrx not found in directory /lib/modules/4.11.9-1-ARCH

After upgrading my system, I can't run 'startx' successfully anymore. It failes to load my fgrlx module.

modprobe fglrx gives me this:
Module fglrx not found in directory /lib/modules/4.11.9-1-ARCH

I got catalyst-hook installed. I am still no expert in archlinux so I would love to get your help to fix this. Thanks.

Did you get a kernel upgrade in the update? Did you reboot after the kernel upgrade?

Sounds like your boot partition wasn't mounted when you updated or your bootloader config is screwed up.

@2ManyDogs Can I check it afterwards to be sure?

@Scimmia The boot partition should've been mounted when updating. 'startx' gives me this (see image)

Should have been mounted, but why, then, are you running an old kernel?

@Scimia, yes I am running an old kernel because I got trouble because the amd-drivers aren't working with the newer kernel. So I just used the older kernel until I will buy a new graphic card nevertheless.

Re: Module fglrx not found in directory /lib/modules/4.11.9-1-ARCH

So the problem is that you simply don't have the module for that kernel. No idea what catalyst-hook is.

Yes but I got no idea why it is missing and how I can get it.

Start out with where the module is supposed to come from

Re: Module fglrx not found in directory /lib/modules/4.11.9-1-ARCH

I thought that it would come from AMD Catalyst. That's why I even reinstalled catalyst-hook, but sadly it didn't work out.

Re: Module fglrx not found in directory /lib/modules/4.11.9-1-ARCH

And what does that package do?

Follow this through, I'm not going to lead you by the nose forever.

What graphics card exactly do you have? Why do you use catalyst/fglrx instead on radeon&mesa?

Re: Module fglrx not found in directory /lib/modules/4.11.9-1-ARCH

I reinstalled the packages and when installing catalyst it says that the building of fglrx module is failing.
It says in the error-log:

What version of the linux-headers package?

4.13.11-1 is installed.

Is that the problem? Do I need to downgrade to 4.11?

Yep, headers need to match the kernel

Re: Module fglrx not found in directory /lib/modules/4.11.9-1-ARCH

Thank you! Is there a possibility to get the older version, so to downgrade when I don't have it in my pacman cache?
