At least in my case the whole box freezes, so no ssh anymore ...

So you can just try instrumenting any radeon functions and see where the
log stops (poor man's debugging) or try if the box is enough alive to
use a kernel debugger - but as it looks the readon chip leaves the wohle
pci bus locked without a possibility to continue execution.
