Thanks for the suggestion, however as I tried to indicate in the bug report the machine does in fact lock up and it is impossible to ssh into it. I have tried this with 2 different X800 cards with identical results. The machine boots fine with a different model of ATI card and occasionally with the X800. I have included a hand transcription from photos I took during the boot process of the relavent lines.
