How to boot slackware 14.1 on Aurora-R4
 

Hi,

I have just installed slackware on my computer from the DVD, but I have problems with booting.

The setup recommends I use elilo because my hard drives are GPT/GUID, but I can only use that to boot Linux and I still want to be able to boot Windows as well (without using a Windows rescue disk to re-write the boot records)

I made a USB boot stick during the setup, but that does absolutely nothing. And before anyone asks I did change the order of the boot devices so that it should be looking for a USB hard drive before anything else.

Any advice?

Please ignore this. I have it sorted out.

The trick was to change the BIOS setting after making the boot stick. The system then gave me an option to choose [UEFI Lexar...] instead of [USB Hard Drive].

Sorry I bothered you all about this.

No worries. Thanks for posting the solution :)
