It turned out that Xwindows was having problems with the depth for the VGA card.
It is all fixed and working.
Thanks again for the help

Then the kernel starts to load and after initializing storage network sound I get this message and a blinking cursor kernel parameters:
The system does not do anything after that. It just stays there.
The PC is a Micron Millenia.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
When the machine boots, press whatever key it is you need to get into the grub menu (I can't remember what it is offhand). Then press "e" to edit the default grub boot command. Remove "rhgb" and "quiet" from the command (if present) and add "nofb" and "3" as additional parameters. Then press return to try booting again. Does it get any further?
