Apparently "proposed" kernel updates for quantal (3.5.0-37.58) and
raring (3.8.0-28.41) both carry the necessary patch: "radeon: Fix system
hang issue when using KMS with older cards". Indeed, the updated kernel
for raring works fine :-)

Title:
  1002:7188 system hangs on boot (at loading radeon related modules)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  After an upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 (kernel 3.5), the system fails to
  boot. When starting without "quiet splash" options, the last kernel
  messages relate to loading and initializing radeon and drm modules.

  Same problems are here when trying to boot 12.10 live usb images, both
  32- and 64-bit.

  I'm currently using 3.2 kernel from Precise, which boots fine.

  According to RH bug report comment, the problem was introduced with an upstream merge commit:
  f9369910a6225b8d4892c3f20ae740a711cd5ace
  Ubuntu kernel 3.4.0-5.11 boots fine, 3.5.0-1.1 freezes.

  WORKAROUND: When using the following kernel boot parameter the system boots but doesn't switch to the native resolution of 1280x800, and leaves it as 1024x768:
  nomodeset
