No I didn't miss the point I was just in a hurry. My spell check needs 
to have grub.conf  added it doesn't seem to be there along with a lot of 
other words and acronyms. I did find the problem and correct it, I had 
added an IDE drive to a SCSI system and as soon as I removed it 
everything worked as it has in the past 13 years that I have been using 
Linux.

Thank you for your help.
