Ok booted to the non-pae install.
I did get further this time.
The best way I can describe it is
I get a screen showing different colors flashing with some corrupted graphics showing as a sliver at the top of the screen.
It rotates through several colors over and over again.
It appears this whole problem is video related maybe.
Is there some boot parameters I could try?
I can press e at the grub menu prompt and edit the boot line.
I run into this occasionally. There are some video modes that you can manually select that may help.
Look into the vga= boot parameter and select a resolution that matches your system.
Normally the default settings work fine, but there are exceptions. Since this hadn’t happened much for me until recently (on one of my newer systems), I’d hardly ever experienced this myself, so I’m still researching solutions. Modifying settings in /etc/default/grub may also help:
Example:
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024×768
Another suggestion is to modify the boot parameter:
boot to the GRUB menu, then
find the line that has “quiet splash”; otherwise, look at the options on the kernel boot line.
add nomodeset, so “quiet splash nomodeset”
(or add nomodeset to the kernel boot line).
