I fixed my problem by booting with "linux agp=off". That's how I got
the kernel to ignore AGP and start up. I still haven't gone through the
full install, that's a project for this weekend. I imagine that I'll
have to add the agp=off string to the grub bootloader line.
Thanks for everyone's advice.
