no boot prompt - was OSX 10.3 upgrade fix problems associated with 10.2.8?

[Harvey Ussery]

Bob,      I apologize (I think I'm foggy from having been up 'way too 
long last night), but I'm having trouble understanding your exact 
situation here. I know you've described the problem at greater length in 
earlier posts; but I don't have them at hand.

What do you get when you cold-boot--just a blank screen?

This is where I am confused--it fired up and runs normally? What does 
that mean if you didn't boot into Linux?

This makes me think you are using BootX, not yaboot, to boot your Linux 
system? If so, I won't be able to help--I've never worked with BootX.

Good luck.    --Harvey
