I rebooted and the newest sysrescue still wouldn't boot up.  It says it
can't find /sysrcd.dat which I think is caused because it can't use the
USB port that the sysrescue stick is plugged into.  So, I booted Knoppix
instead from DVD.  Success.  I got a list of drivers from lspci and plan
to research them and see if I am missing something.  If not, I may just
start with a fresh config and see if that helps. 

At least the mobo is working tho.  That's a good thing.  It's a start at
least.
