Mathew,

since you are using 2 PVR-250 I'm guessing you are using a vga-card
with TV-out. I've ran into a simular problem were my 3rd card
(whichever card I put 3rd failed) never initialized. After having
removed/replaced everything but the video-card (as I needed the tv-out
for POST etc..), I replaced it anyways with one I had lying around
that didn't have tv-out. And by magic the 3rd card worked. Put back
the old video-card and the card failed. I borrowed another card from a
friend and I encountered the same problem. Both cards were
Nvidia-based, one a Geforce440MX, the other a TNT2 M64. For the moment
I'm running without tv-out as I use a PVR350.
Could be something simular.
