I've successfully FAI installed HP Deskpro 7800 desktops, which have a  
Q35 chipset, using FAI 3.1.8 with a 2.6.24 kernel.  The kicker was the  
e1000e ethernet driver that these machines need.  Neither of the above  
kernel options were required with that kernel (this was the  
2.6.24-1-686 package from current Debian unstable, rebuilt for etch)

I can't address your issues specifically but the above approach worked  
fine for me.
