The problem persists with the kernel which entered testing today (2.6.32-26). Looking back at the logs I see that version 2.6.32-23 was still working. This one came with the installation, the Debian installer for testing (Build: 9 October 2010).
Also, I found out that disabling KMS actually make this problem go away. I added radeon.modeset=0 to my boot flags and now the system boots properly. However, with KMS disabled my monitor loses the signal when X is started, but that's another problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
