Framebuffer.  That's the word I was trying to remember.  So I bet I somehow 
built the new kernel with no framebuffer support, which is why I'm getting a 
black screen.

Out of curiosity, what's this "UUID=b02e6[...]" coming from?  That's unusual.

Ah, this is helpful too.  I have an LCD monitor, and I needed to fix that 
sooner or later regardless.

We'll see, but I expect so.  Thank you.  You've refreshed my memory if nothing 
else.  It has been a long time since I ran a distro that tried to pretty up 
the boot process, and I forgot all about how it worked.

I could, of course, have tried to STFW first too.  I'm out of practice asking 
questions.  :D
