With the latest update from Tumbleweed the machine crashes in drm_radeon or drm_kvm_helper (if I could glean these correctly) with a recursive page fault when the boot process tries to initialize the radeon module. This happened before systemd switched the journal to disk, so I can't look at any logs. I can still boot with the 4.0.1 kernel on that installation although I'm currently having trouble getting a stable X display past the kdm screen. That happened before with this card, an RV350, and seems to be related to the pixel clock PLL not locking.
I've had multiple ATI cards from that era go bad. You might have a hardware failure in progress that manifests only when previously un- or little-used functionality is put to use. Why kernel-pae instead of kernel-desktop? I have two rv370 cards working normally in TW with kernel-desktop-4.0.3, a Radeon X600 on 64 bit and KDE5, and a FireGL on 32 bit and KDE 5. On both I have compositing disabled globally. Maybe disabling compositing would be telling for you. Here's how I do it: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-extensions.conf: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Disable" EndSection -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
