The problem could be in the fact that you are trying to use onboard
chipset. It is likely that the BIOS for it is integrated into the
mainboard BIOS - which is why the driver cannot find it. Perhaps,
if you manage to get the computer to boot with built-in chipset active
and standalone card disabled, you would be able to get both to work.
However, it is also likely that your onboard video chip is AGP. So if the
other card is also AGP they cannot be simultaneously used.
