Are you sure that your using the agpgart module that came in the Intel 
package?  Also, you need to make sure you install it's built with the 
kernel you'll be running.  Here's the relevant kernel messages from my 
laptop:

agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 313M
agpgart: Detected an Intel(R) 830M Chipset.
agpgart: PGTBL_CTL value is 0x17fe0000
agpgart: detected 8060K stolen memory.
