Well, I'm somewhat baffled but this problem has now disappeared.
I noticed that in my tinkering I'd changed the xorg.conf file to a
640x480 resolution.  When I changed it back and rebooted the
machine a couple of times things cleared up.

None of the POST messages are ever visible on this machine but
after the kernel has loaded and services begin to start then I can
see the graphical boot output.

I'm most baffled b/c I the X config should have no impact on the
graphical boot since that isn't run thru X.


Keith.
