In the mean time I've been setting up netconsole, which (I can only start
it just before invoking kdm, as the ethernet driver (tulip) doesn't really
like netconsole) only shows the following:
netconsole: network logging started
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
mtrr: no more MTRRs available
[drm] Initialized savage 2.4.1 20050313 on minor 0
mtrr: no more MTRRs available
mtrr: base(0xf2000000) is not aligned on a size(0x5000000) boundary
agpgart: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device at 0000:00:00.0.
agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:00:00.0 into 0x mode
agpgart: Putting AGP V2 device at 0000:01:00.0 into 0x mode
Then, as soon as the X server tries to start, the system locks up
immediately with a black screen and the fan humming at full speed.

I'll try this today, thanks for your hints

The current version with 02_temporary_revert_pciaccess.diff applied and the
following commits reverted

works reliably for me since early june, (the earlier version did as well,
of course).
Just now, I managed to start X with xserver-xorg-video-savage 1:2.2.1-1
(without any changes) once (Xorg.0.log_2.2.1-1-working.log.gz attached), it
failed/ crashed for the following reboots though (attached as
Xorg.0.log_2.2.1-1-crashed.log.gz).
