The driver is different, it won't help because your driver is differernt from mine, so you can remove that blacklist :)

The thing that we have in common is that the Radeon driver is about common.

I installed Fedora using textinstall and updated it.  The machine starts in level 3 everytime, a nice boot splash appears and then the login prompt shows up.  The machine has not frozen as of yet :), (** crossing my fingers **) 

machine has run for 7:27, I will leave it on and see what happens.  I boot with acpi=off, have you tried that option?
