Like you, I use RH8.0 with NVIDIA AGP card. Today, I received an announcement that NVIDIA provides new driver for RH8.0, you may need to check that (http://www.nvidia.com/). And since you told that you didn't remove kernel-debug package, download it again and check it what files that pkg provides: rpm -qlp kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0debug and you can remove all files from that package manually. But be sure that none of the files are not shared by any other pkgs. esp. kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0. (And note that if some of configuration files and script stuff cannot be removed by this way.) And you told that your boot loader still provide debug version, check the boot loader's configuration file. (If you use lilo as your boot loader, it should be /etc/lilo.conf. and make sure you run "/sbin/lilo" as root after any change.
