I have an ATI graphics card too...so maybe that's the problem.I've tried installing Windows ME, Windows 2000, and XP - none of them work.Same old blank screen crap, after the startup screen is loaded.Or...at the end of the installation...it'll just go blank....so I think the ATI graphic cards has something to do with this problem...
ati mobility u1 by any chance, otherwise know as an igp 320m aswell.
edit: ive never tried it with any other os apart from 2k, and xp, and xp works fine,
also u said u had win2k server, does the server use the service packs too, if so what service pack did u have, mines was slipstreamed to sp4.
if u also have sp4, i may try it with sp3 to see if sp4 is maybe the problem?
The same service packs apply to 2k Server and 2k Pro. It is unlikely that the service packs will make any difference.

i have tried it with both drivers listed there
Have you installed the AGP drivers first?
Try this
i think so, ill give it another go
i tried 2k with the agp driver, and the system enhance disk aswell, but it didnt work. same problem, i also just put it on the same partition as xp so i fucked up xp aswell, and ive misplaced my legal xp home, so ive had to put on my xp corp. :)
would it be worth trying with an external monitor?
Can't do any harm, can it? And if it works, it gives an idea where the problem lies.
