Ok, I've created bug 103111.  It turns out that the monitor does eventually show some output (after waiting several minutes), but the system never boots up to a normal login screen.  Instead, I just keep seeing error messages.  I've attached both good and bad log files.

Curiously, it looks like X restarts at some point, because I get two Xorg.0.log files.  I've attached both.  bad.Xorg.0.log is the first bad one and Xorg.0.log is the second bad one.
