I just put an Adaptec 29160 card in it (which is a 64 bit PCI card) and it 
also hangs if I put it in the PCI-X slot, it works fine in a PCI32 slot. (I 
haven't tried booting i386 to see if it works there though)

I have also tried the latest BIOS with the fail-safe defaults set - no change.

I have grabbed a slab of info from DDB over Firewire (plus NMI switch :) which 
is attached.
