I already deleted my PAE kernel, therefore I reinstalled the removed packages:
apt-get install linux-generic-pae linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic-pae
linux-image-generic-pae
These are the interesting lines:
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 2.6.38-8-generic-pae
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic-pae
* dkms: running auto installation service for kernel 2.6.38-8-generic-pae
* fglrx (8.840)...
[fail]
dkms: WARNING: linux headers are missing, which may explain the above failures.
please install the linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae package to fix this.
The dkms build failed, too:
dkms build -m fglrx -v 8.840 -k 2.6.38-8-generic-pae
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 2.6.38-8-generic-pae cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic-pae/build or
/lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic-pae/source.
You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located, or
you could install the linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae package.
Then I added the PAE headers...:
apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae
... which built and installed the missing driver automatically:
...
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 2.6.38-8-generic-pae
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic-pae
* dkms: running auto installation service for kernel 2.6.38-8-generic-pae
* fglrx (8.840)...
[ OK ]
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/nvidia-common
2.6.38-8-generic-pae /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic-pae
Booting into the new PAE was flawless. The missing package
(linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic-pae)
was not present when I updated to 11.04. Therefore I suggest that this package
is added when a PAE
kernel is set to be installed with drivers like fglrx.
