After installation, Slackware don't boot, and /etc/fstab wrong

Hi to all,

After the installation of Slackware it don't boot.

I plugin the USB boot stick[1] and boot from it, then Slackware stop with kernel panic[2].

How can I boot normally Slackware ?

Thanks.

The links to the pics are broken, so we can't see what the issue is.

It does appear that the fstab is wrong. Try booting into the Slackware install disk again, mount the root partition, and then make the necessary changes to fstab.

Hi blue_k,

I made the changes you suggest adding these lines to /etc/fstab

/dev/sdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb2 / ext4 defaults 1 1

then reboot, and I obtain the same results.

You have more ideas ?

Thanks, see you.

What happens when you try to boot from the hard disk as opposed to the usb stick?

Is the bootloader present, does it lilo/grub menu appear?

How many hard disks are in the system, can you see the disks in the POST screen?
Are you sure the root partition is sda2?

Hi plisken,

The bootloader is not present.

I install Lilo from installation.

Slackware reside in an USB pen drive.

Do you have ideas ?

Thanks, see you.

Are you sure the pendrive is not sr0? That appears to be about a 1GB drive, which could be your pendrive. What size is the pendrive?
