build a kernel without paravirt or wait for 2.6.22 (or downgrade to 2.6.18)
Try googleing for debian 2.6.21 and paravirt ;-)

Thanks, that's interesting.

Just for interest sake, I found this:
http://grizach.sc18.info/nvpatch/ - adapted it slightly for the later
kernel and ATi driver (instead of nVidia). kbuild now allows me to
build the module, but sadly I get a segfault when trying to load the module.
Guess I'll have to wait for the next kernel.

OK, so I took this one step further. Installed kernel-source-2.6.21,
changed CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y to CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n and build a new kernel
that is otherwise identical to the one from the Debian repo. I also
reinstalled the default linux-kbuild, and after booting into this
kernel, was able to build the fglrx module without any issues.
Thanks for all who replied!

I just installed the ati drivers from the ati website yesterday with that
kernel and it succeeded. Are you building the fglrx package in debian? I had
that problem with the nvidia drivers also. I read at kernel.org that
paravirt_ops is no longer a GPL-only export in the current kernel 2.6.22. I
don't know of a workaround.

What's version of fglrx are you using ?
(latest fglrx 8.38 compiles fines on my 2.6.21 machine )

I apt-get installed the one from the Debian repo last night (8.37.6-1),
and when that failed to build, I got 8.38.6-1 from ATI's website and
made Debian packages with it. Both fail with the same error.
