1) Please post the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.conf file.
2) Try compiling support for agpgart as a module instead of built in. It shouldn't matter, but I've seen things like that happen before.

Find the solution
it was a mistake while creating the grub.conf
| Quote: | # Splash image to show behind grub.
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz |
Thank you |
