It seems the problem is related to 64 bit Linux on Gigabyte motherboards. 32 bit? No problem. Windows? No problem. Another mobo? No problem. So much for buying the preferred Linux mobo. I've added the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= change to /etc/default/grub and updated with "update-bootloader". I hope that is the right substitute for "update-grub". I guess "bootloader" is some sort of name improvement over "grub" since grub is now pase. Welp, sending this out and about to reboot.

If the above post helps anyone I am happy.
