Does it work if you disable AGP?  Boot with radeon.agpmode=-1 on the kernel
command line in grub.

It's working so far.  I did try X and it didn't crash with the usual sequences
(windowmaker wm, firefox, xterm, use wm to modify a "docked" applications
settings).  I'm using kernel 3.10.17-i586 from Slackware-14.1 (happens to be
Slackware-Current right now).  My next check, which is being done presently, is
to compile TeXLive from SlackBuild.  This will crash the kernel when the
compressed package is built (larger than 1GB).

I am attaching a current dmesg with the radeon.agp=-1 passed to grub.

Cheers,

Fred

It's radeon.agpmode=-1 not radeon.agp=-1.  You are preventing the radeon kernel
module from loading due to an invalid parameter name:

[   32.781722] radeon: `-1' invalid for parameter `agp'

Alternatively, you can try adjusting the agpmode.  E.g., radeon.agpmode=1 or 2
or 4. to force the agpmode to something other than what the bios set up.

Oops!  I'll try radeon.agpmode=-1 instead.  Still compiling TeXLive as there
has always been an issue with large files, ide, etc with this motherboard and
3x kernels.  When I have something significant I will post here again.

Cheers,

Fred

Still locks up hard with radeon.agpmode=-1 or radeon.agpmode=1.  Haven't tried
anything else yet.  The build of TeXLive failed as before with radeon module
disabled.  I'm uploading a dmesg output from a "normal" boot to runlevel 3
which works, at least for a while.

Cheers,

Fred

Everything seems to be working now.  I reset the agp aperature to 256Mb (same
as card) and booted as you suggested (radeon.agpmode=-1).  I am rebuilding
about 4 or 5 different packages and using both cpus.  It still crashes with
files larger than 1GB though.

Cheers,

Fred

What do you mean by "crashes with files larger than 1GB"?

If one tries to copy or manipulate a file (compress with gzip, xz, bz2) larger
than 1GB.  There was a fix for this issue back with earlier 2.6 kernels but it
re-surfaced sometime around the release of 2.6.34 and later.  The kernel will
lock up if I try to compile, for example, texlive from a SlackBuild or even try
to copy the prebuilt binary from another hard disk or usb disk, etc.

There seems to be a hardware pci bridge bug and appropriate work around
associated with this but I would have to check the kernel archives to make
sure.
