I did the dist-upgrade on my other G4 running Sid, and the oops
doesn't happen.
Looking at the syslog extracts, it seems that the failing machine
oops-es when it's trying to initialize its Radeon video driver. The
machine that doesn't oops has an ATI Rage video card. The traceback
also mentions radeon. So that's probably where the problem lies.
Do others with Radeon cards have this problem?
Here's the relevant part of "lspci -v" for each of the machines,
incase it's useful:
