It never tries to boot. Grub just sits there withe phrase (did not copy
it down) where it says what version it will boot on the screen
and it does nothing (locked up?) I have to <cntl><alt><del> or push
a manual reset. It never tries to load the kernel. Does not matter if
I try a 3.13.7 or 3.14.x, I've rebuilt them quite a few times and did
all the grub2 steps, but none of the newer kernels will boot.
Nothing was done to the bios. The only change was to get rid of ATI
Frame buffer support as suggested upon a recent update:
* Checking for suitable kernel configuration options...
* CONFIG_FB_RADEON: should not be set. But it is.
* Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
* Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems.

I've had problems like this with grub2 when it was trying to retain the
graphics mode (sorry, I don't remember the line in grub.cfg since I've
since removed it.)
yep, this is what I suspect. I may need to reinstall grub2, for some
unknown reason. My research so far has yielded lots of anomolies with
grub2....
I usually find grub problems by entering the grub command line and
typing the commands in the menuentry from /boot/grub/grub.cfg that
doesn't work one at a time.
Good idea, I'll try this.
