Kernel Oops on Alpha Architecture when starting the Xserver.

Whenever I start the Xserver, version 1.6.2 from Debain Unstable, I get a
kernel oops report and the computer crashes hard; no ping response, hitting
the reset button to return to SRM fails. Has caused corruption on disc
partitions on some crashes. This occurs with kernels 2.6.30, 2.6.30.1 and
also a patched version of 2.6.29.x (patched so that I get PCI resource files
under sysfs).

The kernel oops is:

So its a machine check,

So, does this indicate a software fault (e.g. inconsistencies in kernel data structures) or does it imply a hardware fault?

Well X is trying to post the graphics card you have installed, and the machine
is falling over when it does it.

SRM (the equivalent of a BIOS) cannot post the card on startup. But I have had the card (radeon rv610) post correctly and working in the past when I compiled the complete 1.5.3 Xserver myself. I had it working with both the radeon and radeonhd drivers and a 2.6.29.x kernel patched to support libpciaccess.

Everything went to custard went I reinstalled and upgraded to Debian unstable.

As an experiment I have removed the Radeon rv610 card and installed a really old Sis variant video card.

The Xserver now displays a green screen and gets no further. The machine no longer Oops. Instead the Xserver sucks up near 100% CPU. I connected to the Xorg process with gdb and got the following backtrace:
