Package: linux-image-2.6.12-1-686
Version: 2.6.12-10
Severity: normal

Hello,

I suspect this may have something to do with
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=330455, as it sounds
to be some kind of interrupt conflicts.

I had a computer running linux-image-2.6.12-1-686 since a while, with
no problem, with a Radeon 9000 onboard. 
Lately, I changed the card with a Radeon 9600 pro, and since then I
get oops while booting, but very late during the boot process (after
NFS mounts are mounted, to give you an idea).
The same Radeon 9600 pro card was running well in another computer
with the exact same kernel since a while.

The other computer got an Intel motherboard, while this one got a VIA
one.

Here's come the lspci results (as you see, there are several possible
cause for such conflicts).

0000:01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AP [Radeon 9600] (Secondary)

In /var/log/kern.log there's nothing related to the crash. There's
nothing relevant in /var/log/debug either. So I dont know exactly what
should I provide to make this report more useful. Tell me.

Regards,
