dkms problem with kernel 2.6.30

[iamkrazee]

I have an hp pavilion dv5 series laptop, with ati hd 3450 graphics, 512m dedicated memory.

I have a problem with my sound card, that it won't play sound through it's own speakers. So i figured I need to install a new kernel, which I did.

Inherently I installed the latest graphic drivers(8.62), from the amd website as well as the ones from the standard repo(8.60). I tried to build the drivers for both kernels with :

sudo dkms build -m fglrx -v 8.600 -k 2.6.28-11-generic

sudo dkms install -m fglrx -v 8.600 -k 2.6.28-11-generic

This works.

sudo dkms build -m fglrx -v 8.62 -k 2.6.28-11-generic

This gives the following error :

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area....
pushd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.62/build; sh make.sh --nohints; popd....

Error!  Build of fglrx.ko failed for: 2.6.28-11-generic (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.62/build/ for more information.

Now, it gets weirder, when I try to build the dkms for 2.6.30

sudo dkms build -m fglrx -v 8.600 -k 2.6.30-020630-generic

output:

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:

pushd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.600/build; sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=2.6.30-020630-generic; popd....

and for 6.2

sudo dkms build -m fglrx -v 8.62 -k 2.6.30-020630-generic

output is :

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Help in any form will be more than appreciated.

P.S. : I use KDE and I need 3d effects. System-settings cannot enable the 3d effects under the 2.6.30 kernel.

*bump*
I am having the same problem:

sudo dkms build --config /boot/config-2.6.31.6-mycomputer-2 -m fglrx -v 8.593

make.log is totally useless.
Any progress with this? Solutions?
Hmm, just re-read your post. Looks like there's a newer fglrx than I got last night!
