No joy. I tried both adding the 'vmalloc=256MB' to the boot line in Grub and the menu.lst. Neither seems to have helped enable the Nvidia drvr. I'm also noticing that when I show the restricted hardware options I don't see a a list of nvidia drivers ( 173, 180, etc ) anymore rather I just get a si

This shows the error I've usually been getting. The 8800 is at PCI:1:0:0, so I'm not sure why it doesn't get initialized.
