Could you reproduce all of the options you are using to the list? It might 
turn out to be a simple typo...

Also make sure that Video DRAM is set to 0.

Well, it doesn't look like it's getting far enough for the SCSI card to make a 
difference. From what you've described you could just as well have an infinite 
improbabilty podule in that slot instead ;-). But to be on the safe side is it 
feasible to rip out the SCSI card for a quick test ?

One last thing, have you checked to see whether the kernel isn't corrupted ?
