Karl, you'd commented on my error, but the real problem is in the last part.  Would you come over 
here and help me with the last part....    which I will re-iterate:

It wouldn't boot from the HD, so I put the disk in and booted in the "Safe Mode" which took me to a 
list of choices.  I chose the "Recovery Mode" and here's the errors I get in the last couple of 
lines starting with the one that appears correct (lines are as seen on the screen):

  	[   34.484528] RAMDISK:  Compressed image found at block 0
  	[   34.493544] invalid compressed format (err=1)
  	[   34.494287] VFS: Cannot open root device "UUID=dc6c48c4-cc9b-4851-a668-a132c5
9bafbe" or unknown-block(0,0)
  	[   34.494351] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the availab
le partitions:
  	[   34.494414] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown wn-block(0,0)

So can you offer any wisdom for how to correct this problem??  Also, what do you do with a loader 
that's hung up?  I would think that you wait or shut it down....   both of which I'm told is not 
good.  There's nothing else to do.
