Thomas, thanks for the response.

It makes no difference if default=1 or default=1.  It's merely set to
1 now so that if the box is rebooted that it won't lock up on the non
working kernel.

I do get the Grub splash screen.  I can choose my kernel.  It gets to
the point immediately before kernel decompress and that's where it
locks up hard.
