Hello to all.  Hope you are well.

Sorry for this long post, but I'm stumped. snip
Thanks for your help,

I'm stumped no more.
Glad I caught this before anyone spent any time on it. ;-)

It's the KVM causing this poblem.  I should'a guessed.
I connected the monitor directly to the G31M and Linux boots perfectly.
Guess I'll look for a better KVM.  This one's a Cables to go if 
anyone's interested.

If you have a suggestion for a good KVM, please post it.

Thanks,
Alex

It is typical for KVM switches to cache the EDID.  Sometimes they do it wrong.  
I would have suggested that, had you not figured it out.  If anyone else should 
have this in the future, experimenting without the KVM in the circuit would be 
something to try first.  This also comes up a lot with digital TV setups.
