Thanks, sudodus! The machine is still working, and audio is also functional. I can finally deliver it to it's owner. I want to thank all contributors to this thread, and also it's originator. It's...

I am not sure what change was effective but this machine has now booted three times with no errors or difficulties. First I tried "sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-pxpress" but I found out that that...

OK, Grub didn't like me removing the quiet splash instruction! It rewarded me with the lovely black screen! So I rebooted and entered edit mode in grub and changed the $vt_handoff to $vt_handoff=0....

Thanks Sudodus, but actually I have already made the entries in the /etc/grub.d/40_custom/ file. That's why I stated that I haven't been able to make the entries permanent, although that really is a...

Thanks Sudodus! My problem persists. I have not reverted my pallet snoop change in EUFI / BIOS but I have managed to boot to a GUI with the appropriate resolution for my graphics which is 1600x900....

Sudodus, The machine isn't fixed yet! Did you read the unedited post? My fix turned out to be unsuccessful, well at least partially. In order for the palette snoop change to work, I have to actually...

I have discovered that this issue is a problem with the bios on the motherboard! It has NOTHING at all...

If I strike "Enter" immediately after grub appears, there is NO delay in launching the linux kernel.
I have verified that If I choose to boot into sda1 I am actually booting to C: drive since chkdsk...

I have only booted to sda5 once, it is the final choice in the grub menu, and I had never booted to it at all for any reason until now! It booted without any problem, and since sda5 was never...

Anyone have any ideas why my grub loader response is so slow? Everything else on the machine is really fast and instantly responsive, but the grub menu appears as if it is frozen for almost 3 minutes...

I stand corrected! My grub loader is not totally useless...It just appears to be that way because it takes about 360 seconds for it to react to a key press!!!! I walked away from it, and then when I...

I still have a useless grub loader. I may as well have just a pure linux installation here. Characteristics are the same as they were in the first post in this thread! I'm off to sleep now. 4 AM in...

This is the fifth time I've reinstalled grub. I actually reinstalled it twice before I posted this thread... I couldn't resist, I just did it again!

I did try the LiveCD versions of the Ubuntu 10.10 AND the 10.04LTS and both CDs worked on this system. I do have a WIN XP install disc so I can do a system repair & rewrite the MBR repair if...

I did a purge of grub and installed new code. I am able to boot to the latest kernel without using the LiveCD.
