[elrepo] Regarding fglrx RHEL 7.2

Wed Dec 2 09:08:57 EST 2015

Wolfy,

Is there a location on the file system it drops the stack trace? That's all
I could get from the kernel since it flies by at lighting speed.

To confirm I'm seeing the symlink for the module to the weak-updates path,
it appears to be there. Any suggestions?

Roy
