@Martin:

Thanks! As I suggested in the original bug description
"radeon.agpmode=-1" works as boot option. But as it's a bug and I didn't
find an up-to-date bug description I filed one. I am sure this affects
some more users of Apple PPC hardware.

Interestingly enough my Powerbook 5,8 is not affected by this bug though
it is equipped with a very similar r300-class graphics board! "ATI
Radeon Mobility 9600/9700 (M10/M11) NP (AGP)", (ChipID = 0x4e50).

** Description changed:

  The freeze happens every time unless I use "radeon.agpmode=-1" as a
- kernel parameter. Affected machine: PowerBook G4 5,6.
