Can you boot in runlevel 3 and with radeon.modeset=0. Then modprobe radeon modeset=1
(you might need to rmmod first), this should allow you capture dmesg log with the failure.
(Do the modprobe/rmmod through ssh as you won't have a console in the process).

Note that here RV515 works like a charm :)
