That looks like the problem - agpgart.o has tried to initialise
itself, but it's failed to open/create its device file
(/dev/agpgart). Take a look in /dev and see if the file is there. If
it's not, you'll need to make it, with (as root):
# mknod /dev/agpgart c 10 175

Unless, of course, you're using devfs, in which case the failure to
load is probably something else entirely . . . If you /are/ using
devfs, there will be a file /dev/.devfsd, and there should be a
devfsd instance running. I dunno what might be the problem in that
case.
