Thanks Andreas, I just figured that out as well when testing on another 
machine just now.  If you still have the file I sent you for svn2059, 
would you mind testing it on your machine as well.  I'm tempted to send 
you the svn2059 or 2065 to compile on your current machine, to see if it 
behaves differently than the one I built.  Be prepared though, as I'm 
sure you'll need to re-install svn2031 back after 2059 fails to boot. 
Keep your LiveCD available to reboot!  :-)

I just tested 2059 on another machine here, which resulted in the same 
error, non-boot situation as it did on my main machine.  There is a bug 
somewhere since 2031.  I guess at this point someone needs to research 
what changed between 2031 and 2059.

Thanks for everyone's help!
