radeon panic and 2.6 kernel

[Gregory Boyce]

On my machine I recieved similiar radeon errors, but X started fine
without them.  

Are you using a USB keyboard or mouse by any chance?  I had to forcibly
load the hid driver before my mouse would work.  No pointing device will
cause X to crash with an error much like that one.
