One more thought - does the usual BIOS stuff show up properly?

konstantin mentioned 'bios resolution' and your are saying 'bios stuff'.

not sure what konstantin means by 'bios resolution', tho i would guess
'graphics chip startup default'.

i take it you mean 'bios stuff' as in what is displayed during 'cmos boot rom'
start up.

box i am using, a 2 year old, does not have any setup for video in bios.
is there something that is now in newer cmos bios settings?

If so, as a temporary fix, you can turn off the splash image, and run Grub in the text mode. Just comment out the splash= line in /boot/grub/grub.conf and you should be able to select the system you want to boot.

good point about splash. i had copied my 'menu.lst' and 'grub.conf' to my
desktop in this system to add to my last post, but, after spending 5 hrs of
ancestry searching, i forget to add 2 files to post.

'grub.conf' is from f8 install, 'menu.lst' is from conversion mandriva made
from 'lilo.conf' file, along with c&p from a different f8 install on this box.
some some editing was done, but i did not have 'splash=' in installed file.

note that 'menu.lst' does not have 'vga=794' in body, as i copied file before
i checked for any change. which there was not.

what would be nice if one could put a 'screen config preamble' in a file
that is going to be displayed. then again...
