hmmmmmmmm...

you basically need to rebuild your file system, thoses commands should have worked?

i would say try the others but MKFS is "DANGER WIL ROBINSON DANGER" it could erase your entire HDD.... try ext2 or the other ones you listed

but no guarantees

Boot your system with the Slackware Booteable CD

when the boot : appears type these extra parameters

boot: bare.i root=/dev/hda[2 noinitrd ro

where bare.i is the kernel to boot your system, /dev/hda2 is where your linux partition is installed (I am assuming this values) You'll have to put the correct ones according your installation

Next, login as root

mkdir /temp
mount /dev/hda2 /temp
cd /temp
liloconfig

with liloconfig you will be able to reinstall LILO

cd /
umount /temp
rmdir /temp
reboot

That's all
