I haven't had a problem with crashing, but I have learned a few things 
in messing around with it.  Do you have the radeonfb compiled as a 
module?  Are you using the VESA fb at the same time?  Try compiling 
radeonfb as a module, using vga=normal on boot, then probing the module 
after boot and see what happens.  Look at the syslog if it doesn't work.
