ATIRadeonX3000 causes panic during the boot. (HD5870 mobility)

I googled similar topics and tried out some kexts, but the problem persists.

 

Here is what I got when I gave "-v" boot option.

 

panic(cpu 2 caller): Kernel trap at 0x00295886, type 14=page fault

Kernel Extensions in backtrace
com.apple.ATIRadeonX3000(6.2.6)@0x5f530000->0x5f73cfff
Dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6)@0x55150000
Dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2)@0x5e854000
Dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2)@0x5e8d1000

 

The funny thing is, when I delete "ATIRadeonX3000.kext", Mac OS X boots perfectly but it has no QE/CI support. The panel is not translucent and the animation is choppy. But the OS boots, and the sound is enabled.

 

With ATIRadeonX3000.kext in action, the boot procedure is non-deterministic: it fails 75% of the time, and the other 25% time, the OS boots with QE/CI support, but the sound icon is grayed out and no sound support.

 

What is going on here? Has anybody experienced something similar?

Installing "ATY_init.kext" solved the problem, just in case anybody was wondering. +)
