At least then I could copy the errors from /var/log/messages This sounds like an interrupt conflict of some sort, although I'm not sure why it would be happening with a PCI card. If you leave it long enough, it's certainly possible that it will allow the machine to boot normally. Another alternative is putting a serial console on the machine. That would allow you to capture boot messages, kernel printfs, etc. If the machine won't come up after you leave it for a while, I would suggest putting a serial console on it, so we can figure out what's going on.
