Description of problem: 'radeon' driver gets kernel panic at boot. How reproducible: With AGP Radeon cards on Intel i845 motherboard Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get Intel i845 motherboard 2. Get ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP (512MB memory, 64bit bus) 3. Try to boot OpenSuse 11.3 4. kernel panic on boot stage Additional info: using nomodeset option allows to boot , but driver changes from radeon to radeonhd. If 'radeonhd' not present in the distribution (for example , Fedora 14), then I see totally black screen with movable mouse cursor. VESA driver works nice. System configuration: 1. Motherboard: Intel 845D(has on board AC'97 sound, but this sound is disabled in BIOS currently) 2. CPU:Intel Celeron 1.7 GHz 3. Main memory: 1,5 GB DDR 266MHz 4.

Does booting with radeon.agpmode=-1 on the kernel command line in grub help?

Do you still have this issue if you properly load appropriate agp driver ?
I just don't know how to load AGP module properly, so I can't say is it solvable or not...
