Try booting with agp=off
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.
The lack of documentation and test hardware makes it almost impossible
to debug remotely.
