This looks like a bug that was introduced by linus in 2.6.13 and that I
_think_ should be fixed in the stable series, so if you get 2.6.13.x (x
= latest stable release) it should work.

2.6.13.4 does not fix it and(, as far as I skimmed it,) contains no
changes to the ati framebuffer code.

Usually, to debug those crashes, I'm adding a hack to kernel/printk.c to
call btext_drawstring() (with some test to make sure to do that not too
early, typically only after setup_arch has been called).
