In new kernels radeon.modeset=0 is replacement of nomodeset=1 (for ATI devices only), it should have the same effects. For example resolution of Virtual Terminal (switched by Ctrl+Alt+Fn) should be different. Also "radeon kernel modesetting enabled" is printed in dmesg when radeon.modeset=1 (default)

What about 2.6.33 kernel from comment 11 and problem with r8169 memory allocations? IIRC on 2.6.33, radeon drivers works fine on your system.
