any chance to get a grasp about what's printed earlier ? we only see the 
end of the stack trace there

The path is not wrong. ElRepo's kmods take advantage of the weak updates 
mechanism provided by RHEL .The package was built against RHEL 7.1 hence 
it's placed in the correct location for the kernels from that minor RHEL 
release. Normally you should see  a symlink like this:

    [wolfy at Chroot64R7 ~]$ ll
    /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/ -R
    /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/:
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 21 Dec  2 08:43 fglrx

    /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/fglrx:
    total 0
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 55 Dec  2 08:43 fglrx.ko ->
    /lib/modules/3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64/extra/fglrx/fglrx.ko


Do you have it ? If not, something went south on your system.

No. It should only prevent Xorg from working
OTOH if the source code from AMD is flaky and does not like the new 
kernel.... all I could do is to try to build against the new kernel and 
hope for the best. But from the partial stack trace you provided I see 
no reference to the fglrx module.
