I've hit a couple of things with radeon as well.. the first was this:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/6/172
(if your hitting this issue, then the patch should work and/or it should
already be in the main tree).

then a few days ago hit another:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16335
(keep in mind still uncertain on a fix for this, reverting the commit
gets me up and running(I created a patch, but an umsure if it's a right
solution)).

if none of these are what your hitting, then maybe(if you can) do a
bisect on this!
