I, in fact, saved those instructions and went back to the manual to make sure I thoroughly understood what I was doing. I will use them in the morning. If you remember, except for the double splashimage, my system is booting as it should. Rather than simply getting things to work, the challenge to me over the last couple of days has been to fully understand what has been happening. I have managed to dig into the workings of the mbr, grub stages, video modes much deeper than if I had simply left things as a booting problem to fix. As I have said, I have climbed the grub learning curve in the past. This time I wanted to take an active role in actually undoing something or fixing something. > grub > root (hd.....
