using dsdt or -pci1 gives black screen

Hi folks,

I've been following the guide meticulously for the rig in my signature, but every time I patch my dsdt file and reboot, I get a black screen after the first boot banner. This happens whether I make my own (compiled without errors after removing the problematic quotation marks), or whether I use the dsdt file supplied in the kit. LAN is working fine, but sleep, video (8600gt 512mb) and sound are not. I've looked at some of the prior "Black screen" posts, but that problem seems unrelated.

Interestingly, this is exactly what happens when I try booting with -pci1, the boot modifier that the graphicsenabler says sometimes works for video cards that don't work out of the box.

any ideas?
