I was up all night trying to figure out what the hell was causing these problems until I finally found the silly culprit: my RAID and SATA/SATAII controllers, I wasn't using either of those, so I went into my BIOS and disabled them, and vista booted up like magic. Turned them on again and failure came back, turned them off and vista booted again, so failure to boot seems to be dependent on those SATA/RAID drivers, so be sure to try disabling them if your Vista installation fails to start. Previous to that the only way I could even install vista was through safe mode, which sucked.

ATTN: People who's vista installations fail to boot.
