YannUbuntu, thanks for your reply. Here's what's on the Acer Aspire 5253 notebook from 3.2.0-22 grub.cfg:
Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-22-generic-pae Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-33-generic Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-20-generic-pae Now it's on my table side by side with a Thinkpad T40 which is also a multi-boot various levels of ubuntu having problems with install. Maybe I do get mixed up remembering what's on which partition. Thinking about it, the problem could really be that Grub2 sometimes isn't using the correct screen support so the screen is illegible: VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Wrestler [Radeon HD 6310] 15.6" HD LED LCD so I wind up with something unreadable when Grub2 boots. So boot repair might be restoring the grub configuration which gives me the same unreadable display. Super-Grub2-USB didn't do that, it just looked for operating systems and allowed me to boot whichever regardless of what the hd installed grub2 would do. Is there something I could do when powering up to go into a "safe mode" before Grub2 uses whatever display support it's doing?? I could try plugging in an external monitor when this happens - what info would be useful if the Grub2 isn't driving the notebook's display properly? This problem has been going on from time to time, not always, with Pangolin on this pc. I got so frustrated that it might be garbaging the multiboot with Windoze 7 that I removed that hard drive and replaced it with a spare hard drive. Then when my wife needs the Windoze 7 for something she's doing on web support (proprietary software not available on linux) I plug the original hard drive back in.
