Ok, not getting any response here, probably means either:
1.) This is not the correct forum for someone NOT knowledgeable in the
inner workings of GRUB2,
2.) & or no one give a flying fig if someone has a serious problem
involving GRUB (1 or 2).
Would someone be so kind as to explain... & perhaps, if necessary,
direct me to a forum that might actually be able to help me problem
solve here?
Thank you.

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

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
