Is the = after the word quiet actually in the menu.lst? (quiet=vga=791) This should be a space instead. My working menu.lst shows: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-27-386 root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet splash I don't know if it will help your problem, but you don't have the word splash on that line? I'm only guessing but this might get the start up screen working. > I think I can change the line if necessary. I am sure a need to be SU to > make any change. Is that correct? To create a backup copy just in case: sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_backup If you open Terminal, you will need to type in: sudo pico /boot/grub/menu.lst Make the changes just like a normal text editor, then Ctrl+o to save, Ctrl+x to exit.
