The user reported that both kernels do work (no crashes) with
"firmware-linux-nonfree" installed and using this "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file:

***
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "ATI"
    Driver      "radeon"
    Option      "NoAccel" "True"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    DefaultDepth     24
EndSection
***

This effectively disables 3D acceleration (which means no "gnome-shell") but
the user hasn't experienced any further crash since yesterday.
