Looks like your modules don't match your kernel. Either you installed an amd64 kernel while you're running an i686 kernel, your modprobe has turned buggy or you're using a package that changed the drm module in an update directory.

The module match installed kernel, md5sums is ok. And I have not any problems with other modules (i810, i830 for example).

Sorry, I forgot to say, I use i686, kernel26-2.6.32.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz package.

You have any modules in /lib/modules/2.6.32-Arch/kernel/updates ?
Comment by Eugene (mupugkh) - Sunday, 14 February 2010, 11:37 GMT
Yes, I have ch7006, drm, drm_kms_helper and ttm modules there.
Comment by Jan de Groot (JGC) - Sunday, 14 February 2010, 11:39 GMT
Get rid of them, they're unofficial modules. They're overriding the ones shipped with kernel26, causing failure.
Comment by Thomas Bächler (brain0) - Sunday, 14 February 2010, 11:44 GMT
Even worse, these drm,drm_kms_helper,ttm things are incompatible with i915! The version of the drm module must be the one from the kernel only.
