I did install a fglrx driver 8.28 from the debian repositories and it
worked fine, but in a debian distro. And when I tried to install a later
than 8.28 version in that same Debian I got the same error you have
here.

(II) LoadModule: "fglrxdrm"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/linux//libfglrxdrm.so
(II) Module fglrxdrm: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
        compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 8.34.8
        ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.3

Aparently, the kernel "dies" when it loads this module. A friend told me that 
maybe the kernel is not compile with the same driver that it is loading, he 
also explained me a way to do it. But I don't remember how, all I know is that 
we need the kernel sources and then we go to /usr/src and do a make ...and few 
more things. I have been told that we don't need the kernel sources since we 
have the kernel headers, and when we do a module-assistant prepare, build and 
install, all this procedure compiles the kernel with the driver.
Finally, since the module-assistant way doesn't work, maybe we have to tried 
the old fashion way. I'm gonna find out how to compile the kernel and also how 
to erase any fglrx old driver from the system. If anyone in here knows all 
this, could be a very good help.
