Thanks Robert for the suggestion.  I had renewed hopes this might work, 
but it would not.  After editing the menuentry to use either the 
vga=0x31b or vga=795, the machine booted to a blinking cursor.  It would 
not go beyond that.

Does that help in determining where maybe the problem lies?  Also, I 
thought both linux16 and vga were deprecated, no longer to be used?

Thanks,
Pat
