OK, I've narrowed it down quite a bit. The kernel which Fedora (18) calls kernel-debug-3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 works. Xorg segfaults, but the radeon module successfully loads. The kernel which Fedora (19) calls kernel-debug-3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 crashes the machine. Anyway, I will do some more narrowing down, and I'll try ssh access as well.
