   Alan (pinnerite) knows what he has to do. A repeat of   
   the entire recipe followed from the last time the TBS   
   needs to be built. Make sure the Linux headers are there,   
   or whatever. He should have notes from the last time we   
   went through this. It's not simply a matter of "make clean".   
   I would start a separate folder and do a new TBS.   
      
   If the TBS died, perhaps the broken TBS also caused   
   some DKMS activity to jam up and that's why his video card   
   did not survive the transition in one piece. Maybe the video   
   card has switched from binary blob to FOSS driver or something.   
   I don't know the names of the AMD options all that well, maybe   
   one of them is "amdgpu" ? I have a machine that runs off AMD iGPU,   
   but the table for guest PCs is busy right now (with a Linux on it).
