I downloaded DSL 0.8.2 and tried booting on 3 different machines. X wouldn't start on any one of them.

(1)AMD Athlon 2600+ 512MB
I tried booting:
normally
failsafe
expert
fb[all modes]
fb1024x768 acpi=off

(2)PII 500mhz 128MB
I tried booting:
normally
fb800x600 acpi=off

(3)AMD Athlon 2800+ 512MB Compaq Laptop
I tried booting:
normally
failsafe
expert
fb[all modes]
fb1024x768 acpi=off

Every single time I tried to start x, I got this exact same message on all 3 machines:
