The computer starts to boot an comes up with the GRUB screen.  Leaving it
to boot into Linux, The boot-up process stops with messages flashing onn
the screen.   This is being written on my emergency Windoze machine, so I
shall try to copy the messages, but they are flashing so rapidly I may not
be able to.

There are a couple of more pairs like this but I am unwilling to try to
copy them.
