Thanks but actually, I have already tried it by removing "rhgb 
quiet" from grub to see what happened and X still died. X dies 
after rhgb ends.

I don't think that this has anything to do with with the kernel. 
I downloaded Ubuntu 5.10 and tried to install and the same thing 
happened. They use 2.6.12... It must be either the radeon driver 
that is bad or X itself.

Other people have reported having similar problem with ATI on 
both Suse 10 and Ubuntu 5.10, so it must be something recent in X.
