By cursor what I mean is a flashing underscore line. I tried reinstalling
grub2 using super grub. At first I didn't think anything happened, but now
I'm getting more then a blinking cursor.  The screen now says #floppy0: no
floppy controllers found
# r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: link up
# Ipv6: ADDCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready.

I tried to record the script that show before this screen and it looks like
there is a lot loading, but I saw one place in the script that had a red
FAILED and it looks like it says #failed to start load kernel modules
It would probably be easier to reinstall, but I'm trying to learn linux.
Any more suggestions?
