I tried 2.6.11rc1, which has modular drm (and also the crash I'm
struggling with.)

# modprobe drm debug=1
# modprobe radeon
I got this in dmesg (some of it also on the console):
[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.0 20040925
[drm:drm_init] 
[drm:drm_probe] 
[drm:drm_probe] assigning minor 0

I guess it was detected as pci, due to the "PCI: Enabling device..." message.
At least there is no mention of AGP here.

I tried to run X on the radeon after this, and it locked up solid as usual.
I hope this helps.  I can try other kernels, but I hope a binary
search will be a last resort. (I will try that if absolutely necessary, 
but it will take time.  I can't reboot all the time.)
