    Exclamation [AMD drivers] Kali 2.1, I need you!

    Hey guys

    In the last few days I've been trying installing Kali Linux, Parrot OS, Linux Mint, Debian Testing, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 15.04.

    They are ALL crashing! I could just install Debian Stable without problems but I just want Kali to work, not others.

    There's a BIG problem with Mesa, Xorg and AMD drivers.
    That's why I have problems such:

    Code:
    radeon XXXXXXXXX ring 0 stalled for more than XXXXXXXX sec
    INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU { 3}    (t=21003 jiffies g=2453 c=245
    NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 22s! [pool:825]
    My screen also freezes sometimes.
    I've tried installing Kali and then update it using
    Code:
    apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
    , but I had no luck.

    Xorg, Mesa and Radeon open source driver are failing IMO. What do you think?

    Please don't ask me to downgrade my system or some of those drivers :S (that's the last thing I wanna do)
    Finally I tried installing Mesa 11.0.3 from zero, but
    Code:
    ./configure
    requires too many packages that aren't installed in Kali by default (I don't wanna "corrupt" my distro or install packages that aren't really required either).

    Can you please help me? D:

    PC specs:
    i5-3570 (Intel GPU disabled)
    Sapphire 7870 XT
    AsRock H77M
