So it stalls here.
initrd is a Grub command. intrd is not.
Sorry.
But that still seems like the place where things hang. I went through the sequence of grub commands, beginning with root (hd1,5), and through loading the kernel. From there:
grub> initrd /boot/initrd<tab>.img initrd /boot/initrd.img
And it doesn't return to the GRUB promptl
Just an observation Stan, there really is no need for a <tab> in vmlin<tab>uz, all one word shoud suffice, and as for initrd<tab>.img, that can be fixed to initrd.img. A bit odd those <tab>s.
By now, I know that you are right. But at the time, my level of insight was so low that the only possible strategy was to follow directions as closely as possible according to my understanding. Since, by the way, the absence of the "uz" could not have produced a different result, it's clear that the real reason for the difference must have been copying/typing error. There were, in fact, many such errors, most (but not quite all) of which I caught.
