The nvidia probe code gets invoked for every pci device discovered on 
the bus.  The can't-attach-memory-resource thing essentially means that 
the driver is trying to attach to a device that isn't a graphics card.

I just load -

kernel
linux.ko
nvidia.ko


and that's it.  It's important to note that I do not have 'device agp' 
in my kernel.
