So, look like some is wrong in Ubuntu 15.10, because in Ubuntu 15.04
kolasa patch working fine with kernel 4.2.0.

I try now install new fglrx and kernel 4.2 on Mageia 5 (stable but kernel from Cauldron) and kolasa patch don't want work. I must use this command before installation:
sudo cp /usr/include/linux/version.h /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/
Now installation is complete and all good.

So, Ubuntu 15.04 works with kolasa patch, Mageia 6 Cauldron works with
driver from repository and Mageia 5 work if we use kolasa patch + one
command line.

This command is from Fedora, see here:

Title:
  FGLRX incompatible with kernel 4.2

Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With a R9 280 and FGLRX on ubuntu 15.10 the graphics lock up. I am
  able to SSH into the machine. I booted the older kernel
  (4.1.0-3-generic) and it works with FGLRX. After purging FGLRX and
  using xserver-xorg-video-radeon I am able to get the graphics working,
  but even it has issues with my display port (The DVI ports are working
  correctly).
