Couldn't map memory is a fatal initialization error.  Either the card
is
conflicting with other hardware, or it is dead.  Try removing
everything from
the system except for the video card and the ethernet card.  Turn off
all the
onboard stuff in the BIOS.  If the card works, then you have a
conflict.  If it
doesn't, then it's dead.
