I agree - I did some more testing and placed an entry for the radeon- module into /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, and voilá - no crash! (after booting into X I can't get back to the text-console, but that's possibly another issue). What proves the "bad interaction" even more is: when also placing "i915" into /etc/initramfs-tools/modules BEFORE "radeon", booting isn't possible at all any more, but when placing i915 AFTER radeon, booting is possible, but I got a black screen (as in totally black, that is: no backlight) until X starts up. I'll try to get logs of four different initrd-configurations (though I doubt I'll be able to record the one where the crash occurs already during running of initrd...)
