My ibook2 does exactly the same but it comes to normal life after a
few seconds...

I think you should load agpgart module at boot time by editing
/etc/modules; I had the same problem until I load agpgart at boot.
If you compiled a 2.6.0-testX kernel, agp for uninorth chips is not in
agpgart module but in uninorth_agp module (like with 2.4 benh kernels
you should load it before radeon module to be claimed by X)
Personnally, I load agpgart (or uninorth_agp) and radeon at boot time.

Can you please send your .config and give your kernel version ? :)
