I can get to the console (thanks lynx) but an unable to launch X. I get the message:

(WW) NVIDIA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:0) found
(EE) No devices detected.

I got this message using the same xorg.conf file that worked before.

I switch motherboards to an Asus KT880 based board. Changing the bios option to letting a plug-n-play OS didn't help. I don't see my card (geforce 5600FX) under /proc/interrupts:

CPU0
0: 1260524 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 4342 IO-APIC-edge i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
12: 7274 IO-APIC-edge i8042
14: 30127 IO-APIC-edge ide0
15: 128 IO-APIC-edge ide1
17: 7 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd, eth1
18: 6091 IO-APIC-level SysKonnect SK-98xx, EMU10K1
20: 24 IO-APIC-level libata
21: 0 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd
NMI: 0
LOC: 1260498
ERR: 0
MIS: 0

Any help much appreciated! Oh, also I don't have agpgart enabled since nvidias has in the past been the one that worked.

It works now, I think solved by passing "proc=noirq" as a boot option. From my grub.conf:

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.8.1-mm3 with reiser4 pci=noirq
root (hd0,0) pci=noirq
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bz2.6.8.1-mm3 root=/dev/hda3
