This one was a lack of RAM - the mga_hal error was a red herring.

This one is still a mystery, but I'll take it to the LTSP list.  I
winder if xorg requires more RAM these days?

The third box also failed, but with an error about the RIVA 128 not
being able to handle 16-bit depth (WTF?  Also an item for the LTSP
list)

4th and 5th boxes came up just fine - that's when I stopped freaking out ;)
