I assume the version you installed last Sunday was 2.6.32-35squeeze2.
If the problem persists with the same backtrace and you don't need to
use the CD-ROM drive, you could try blacklisting sr_mod to see if that
helps.
Booting in single-user mode (adding "single debug" on the kernel
command line) might also be worth a try.
I still suspect the radeon driver, though. :) I look forward to
seeing the logs.
Thanks,
Jonathan
