After spending too much time enabling and disabling kernel options and playing with BIOS settings for me to still be considered sane, it occured to me that just maybe the PCI slot was FUBAR. It isn't completely FUBAR, but switching the video and soundcards made it all work. Damn PCI Bus! Why can't we just set resoources with jumpers.
