I tried two things. First, on the ide drive I installed testing base, then changed sources.list to stable and installed X (xfree86). Not a solution, but it did work, so the problem is definitely with xorg. Second. I have 2 PCI expansion cards. USB in slot 1 and scsi in slot 2. (If I put them in the other way around the ultra 10 doesn't even boot. The USB doesn't work very well, but I left it in to test some other time.) To make a long story short, if I remove *both* cards, xorg works on the ide drive! I haven't tried slots 3 and 4 on the riser board and notice that the jumpers on the board are all "off", if that means anything. For my purposes, I don't need X on the ide drive, since I'm only using it to boot to the scsi drive, which works.
