Send us the contents of your /var/log/XFree86.0.log
Usually for this kind of error, it's 'fatal error: Screens found, but none
with a usable configuration', which generally means something wrong with the
selected resolution, or a driver problem.

 I've just set up Debian 3.0 ("Woody") on /dev/hdb7.

  X wouldn't start for me either - something about "screens".

 I recently installed Red Hat 8 on /dev/hdb5 and simply copied the Red
Hat configured X configuration file over to Debian on /dev/hdb7. 

  Miracles.  It worked first time :-) :-)

 I "gave up" on Linux sometime ago and am sampling distributions to
see if it's time to think about using it again.

 I'm not suggesting you install Red Hat to obtain a "good"
configuration file but it appears that Red Hat does a far better job
at setting up X than Debian 3 (Woody).
