Dell gx260 pci video panic

I am having problems installing Fedora Core 3 on a
Dell Optiplex GX260 when I have a PCI video card
installed.
Once it gets past the initial boot screen, I get a
Kernel panic.
This only happens when I have a PCI video card
installed. I have tried 2 different nvidia cards as
well as an old S3 Virge card I had lying around with
the same result.
Now, I know this isn't a Fedora problem specifically,
because almost the same thing happens with Suse 9.2
and Windows 2000 Pro.
Suse gets through the installer, but panics on the
first boot. I tried to boot an existing installation
of windows after installing the card and it failed to
boot all the way as well.
I have also tried it with another Optiplex GX260, and
the same thing happened there.
It looks like the panic occurs at different times, but
usually right after agpgart or USB-UHCI loads.
Some times, there are pages and pages of errors before
it locks up, and I don't know how to access that
information.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Doug
