Okay, I poked around in this, and I have to say that where it's going wrong is totally out of my area of knowledge. As far as I can tell, it's dying because the bios memory seems to be corrupted, or at least it's more than the emulator can handle according to Stuart Barkley. This is strange because Linux users have had it working. Just to make see if this is an interaction with AGP (since the agp code has not been successfully used yet that I know of), could you try removing AGP from your kernel or not modloading it at boot and see how X works? It looks like X should handle not having AGP loaded, since you have 8MB stolen for the card already. If it does work, you'll be limited in resolution, but not as badly as those who only have 512k or 1MB stolen.
