Was OP unloading the radeon kernel module?  I can verify that once the 
radeon module is unloaded, it doesn't work after reloading.  But for me, 
X just complains about no screens found, it doesn't lock up.  If the 
radeon module stays loaded, X starts and restarts fine.  Tested ten 
restarts without problems.
