[...] The kernel has been built with gcc-4.2.4 [1], but to rule out kernel related issues, I've just (re-) tested linux-image-2.6.25-2-686 2.6.25-4 [2] from current sid with the same results in combination with xserver-xorg-video-savage 1:2.2.1-1. As soon as X starts, the system locks up hard, while it works well with 1:2.1.3-5 or 1:2.2.1-1 and 02_temporary_revert_pciaccess.diff etc. applied.
