I got the last radeon driver in
http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/radeon-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2 and copy
the radeon_drv.so to my machine replacing the distribution file (ii
xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.5.8.0-1 X.Org X server -- ATI
display driver).
I only replaced the radeon_drv.so.

It crashs too. It crashs with the HyperThreading enabled and disabled. It
happens while i'm logging to the gdm and before it gets to load all the gnome
components. i cannot ping the machine of another machine and i suppose that it
really crahs.

To i get to run it without problems, i put again the distribution file and set
the ColorDepth to 24 bits with 1600x1200 (xorg.conf) and because the onboard vga
have only 16M, the DRI is not activated with low graphics memory. This way, it
runs slow but is stable.
