FC3 Boot problem

I have 2 computers with shuttle AK32V v3.1 motherboards, xp2400 procs, whatever ram. Computer A is a boot server. Computer B is a diskless boot client. I installed FC3 with a PCI trident video card in computer A, but it hung on boot after "Initializing hardware... storage network audio". I installed a Quadro 2 AGP card in computer A and it boots fine. No matter what I do, I cannot get computer A to boot FC3 with the trident card. Computer B on the other hand has the exact same bios settings and hardware. Yet it boots perfectly fine with the same trident card or the quadro card.

How do I get computer A to boot with a trident card? I have changed the kernel parameters to remove rhgb quiet, add acpi=off, nothing gets it past the hang after Initializing hardware. I have also used a different trident card with the exact same results. Ideas?

edit: load failsafe defaults for the win. any guesses what caused this?
 
When enabling the usb controllers, the system will not boot. With them disabled, it will. However, the other system with the same setup does boot with all usb controllers enabled. However, it ends up with different IRQs than the first system. A whole ball of weirdness.
