Someone else may wish to chime in, but on second thought it might
be easier to install the basic system from the lenny CD with the
working silo, change /etc/apt/sources.list to squeeze, do "apt-get
update', "apt-get-upgrade", then install xorg and whatever else one
wants from there. I assume a highspeed internet connection.

I installed testing on a small (6 GB?) IDE hdd in this ultra 5 around
the beginning of April using "netinst" CD (with mirror) and did not 
have a problem with silo.

I have had the problem you describe (#1) in the past and if I recall
correctly, I believe I did an "expert" install and when I got to
"tasksel", I didn't select anything (i.e. unselected "standard").
I'm not sure if I then tried to install silo in the next step in the
installation or if skipped that and chose to continue without silo,
rebooting the CD in "rescue" mode, and installed silo manually. 

Bonne chance and don't give up,

I believe that the problem is with your version of Xorg. I did
not have a working X a year or two ago. As I already mentioned, 
I am now using this version:

X.Org X Server 1.6.1.901 (1.6.2 RC 1)
Release Date: 2009-5-8
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.27.2-dsa-usii sparc Debian

Build Date: 14 May 2009  04:50:27PM
xorg-server 2:1.6.1.901-2 (bui...@spontini) 

Try to upgrade to squeeze (testing) where I see that Xorg is now
at 2:1.7.7-1.

With this version of Xorg, X doesn't work here without an xorg.conf,
but it DOES WORK at low resolution (640x480?) with a zero-length
xorg.conf. I get better resolution when I put my monitor specs and
default depth of 16 in xorg.conf.
