Along those lines, I've seen grub sometimes use video modes that the card doesn't support. That means BIOS boot screen shows up and then blank screen until the graphics driver is loaded for the full Linux OS. I forget where the screen modes for grub are set.

Yeah, some sort of video mode screwup is a definite possibility. In which case, you should be able to pick something from the GRUB menu "blind", if you can guess when it is sitting there waiting for the timeout.

Just as a heads up. 4.7 did not include the fix from 4.6.2.

So upgraders beware.

I've been learning the grub prompt stuff. After installing Debian and Mint and getting no mouse or keyboard and a grub prompt to boot from I've learned enough to get her back. Oh yeah, what's a grub menu? I've never seen one.

Then I found out slack 14.2 is out and it should build my Nvidia driver for my GTX 1070, where I suspect most of my problems are coming from.
