Hello all!

I`am making my first boot in Slackware like in topic. And there`s one issue. I just want to run console on my laptop, not X.
IMAGE how`s problem looks. In real image is static (not move like in TV :P). Problem looks like to be in slackware 13.37. Older version 12.2 boots ok. Maybe kernel.

It is first boot after installation. Thers goes normal boot... showing drivers loading and in the middle error... At last ctrl+alt+del works

and system reboots.

Hardware TOSHIBA A200 1IZ.
Slackware 13.37

Please help

Your machine appears to have a native screen resolution of 1280x800 using an Intel graphics chipset.
Try adding 'video=1280x800' to the append line in your /etc/lilo.conf and rerunning lilo.
e.g. append = " vt.default_utf8=1 video=1280x800 "

Going from Slackware 12.2 to Slackware 13.37, the Intel graphics drivers moved into the kernel.

OK. Case closed. Problem will be unsolved. I have installed older distr and upgraded it. That`s works.
