Try booting with agp=off
Thanks a lot - it worked great!
I recently fixed some bugs in the serverworks agp driver that could explain this, but to be honest, I'm not entirely optimistic. That driver has suffered neglect for way too long, and unless FC4test1 works out ok, I'm probably going to disable it entirely.
Let me know if you want me to test it on my system.

The lack of documentation and test hardware makes it almost impossible to debug remotely.
