Well if running update-grub shows an error about video.lst, then you
must run grub-install first.
Else check the generated /boot/grub/grub.cfg
It should contain something like that:
if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then
set gfxmode=1440x900
insmod gfxterm
insmod vbe
if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else
# For backward compatibility with versions of terminal.mod that
don't
# understand terminal_output
terminal gfxterm
fi

Felix,
Thanks very much, I will try this.

Well now I'm in deep ...., fortunately, I had some trouble installing
Debian Lenny, & someone recommended 'PMagic' CD & it allowed me to boot
in to my Linux OS.
In booting up this afternoon, I first got:
"Grub loading
error the symbol 'grub_puts' not found
grub rescue>_" (the under score here was a blinking cursor)
Then I made some changes in the BIOS to set another hd to boot... & got:
"GRUB loading please wait...
Error 15" (& right here, all stop as far as loading went).
When I got back on line via the PMagic disk, I tried reinstalling GRUB
via the synaptic package manager... that didn't work either
Previously, I looked at the file Felix suggested (/boot/grub/grub.cfg),
& there was no such parameters as he indicated there might be.
I tried to follow the grub_install suggestions, to no avail (& probably
messed something up).
What is recommended fix... & can I go back to the previous version of
grub some how...? It, at least connected with my startup manager (i.e.,
changed the given, but limited resolutions of the GRUB & start up,
making my 1440 x 900 monitor useable at that res.).
Thanks,
Henry
