I have an NVidia GF4 Ti4200 was unable to get it to boot, because the NV driver didn't recgonize my chipset. Its possible you're having the same problem. If you can report the device id via scanpci -v, I can tell you if its there. Or, grap a hexediting tool and look through the /usr/x11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so. Remember you need to swap the order of the bytes, since i*86 is a little-endian (read backwards-ass) system.

If you add in the id, you might get it to boot, you might not. If the init code to boot the chipset is different, all its going to do is hang.

   Turns out my GF4 Ti works just fine.

Hope it helps--
