Thanks, but neither one appears.  My command line is

linux  /vmlinuz… root=UUID=… ro loglevel=4 nomodeset

Here I’ve replaced the full name of the kernel and the uuid of the boot
partition with ellipses because it’s too tedious to type.  I’ve scrutinized
the actual ones for typos and am convinced there are none.  Leaving out the
loglevel command doesn’t change the behavior at all.
