Felix,
You are my new hero!  That was the problem, the XFS I was using.  Once I 
got the newest release built and installed, everything worked as it 
should.  Yaaay!  I can't thank you enough for your help.  It's really a 
very simple and painless process, if all things are correct.

Now I just need to add some other entries to use, plus I would like to 
make the loader screen a bit prettier.  If I just want to boot to 
runlevel 3, can I use the standard boot entry that takes me to the gui 
and just add "append=3" as the last entry?

I also want to add a memtest entry.  The boot loader screen is 
themeable, isn't it or you can use a graphic, jpg or png, etc?  Sorry 
for all the questions, but I'm excited that it finally works.  Now I 
want to start playing and learning.

Thanks again!
Pat
