The loop is a known bug (see debian-boot if you're interested). It will
be fixed ASAP.
For the X server, you may need a BusID in the devices section. Did
you see a debconf message about that? Maybe just try
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
I noticed there's a significant delay when that starts; be patient.
