Not only that, but there is also the possibility of an exterior monitor hardware button being accidentally pushed thus triggering a different setting to become priority. I started a draft response that I left hanging earlier. Animal related interference was my own first suggestion, but my mindset was that the culprit might be an energetic dog. The other is: What is the screen showing when rescue mode hits "that stage"? I just had to go through this yesterday k/t something related to maybe GRUB EFI. Several rescue mode options were almost understandable, but I opted to just wing it by entering root's password, instead. That worked, and I'm still typing in that same session 24 hours later. Disclaimer is that my issue was not monitor settings so my success is an apples to orange [anecdote]. Cindy :) -- Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *
