We are having trouble with Trident 9680s too.  They worked great with 
the K12LTSP 3.1 and the 2.4.21 client kernel but they flake out big 
time with the client kernel 2.4.24 kernel under 4.0.1.

What happens for me the kernel downloads no problem but right after 
it uncompresses the kernel and checks the video card the screen won't 
sync.   It all happens long before it tries to start Xwindows.

Is that what you are seeing or is it flaking out at the very last 
step when it tries to run Xwindows?
