I had the same problem with Slackware 9.1 & 10.0 and my second desktop,
an old Compaq deskpro.  After a fair bit of trial and error involving rmmod-ing
modules and rebooting, it turned out that  agpgart was causing the trouble.  I
fixed it by simply adding an "rmmod agpgart" in rc.6 to remove the module on
reboot, and it's rebooted cleanly ever since.

Might be worth trying something similar on your server  (not necessarily with
agpgart of course).
