I believe I'm hitting this bug as well. The system freezes (no kernel panic or
anything) shortly after starting the X server with the "ati" driver. Using the
"vesa" driver hasn't shown this. I have only found one possible clue. With the
"ati" driver, I start gdm. Then at the login screen I hit ctrl-alt-backspace.
I get this in /var/log/messages:

Jun 21 10:58:55 neasw3 kernel: __iounmap: bad address ffffff0010223000

Each time I ctrl-alt-backspace I get the same error with the same address. With
the "vesa" driver, I think I got this once, but not in response to anything, and
I can't seem to replicate it. Hopefully soon I'll get some time to try newer
xorg versions and other things. Is there any combinations of kernels and
whatnot that would be more useful for me to test?
