The biggest problem you had was not mounting everything you needed,

I didn't understand why that was necessary. I mean, I mounted /dev/sda3 (so my guess was that it includes /proc and /sys). How come that's not so?

For future reference, when you boot with the Slackware CD/DVD, it has
a line that tells you a much easier way, which is what bgeddy was
telling you ... boot back into the installed Slackware system:
Code:
In a pinch, you can boot your system from here with a command like:
boot: hugesmp.s root=/dev/hda1 rdinit= ro
In the example above, /dev/hda1 is the / Linux partition.
So all you needed to do was enter "hugesmp.s root=/dev/sda3 rdinit= ro"
and you would have been into your Slackware system.

Probably stupid, but I didn't realize that possibility.
Should have known, because a couple of years ago I've done this with a boot floppy. Which is actually the same thing.
Shame on me. :)

That would have saved you a lot of time and typing from another system. You're typing
rather than being able to paste also had incorrect data for us to read:
Code:
vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-generic-2.6.27.31
I have always used that, never had to chroot as Robby posted, and have
always been able to get back into an installed Slackware system.

Glad you got it fixed and can now use Slackware again.

Thank you very much. I'm glad it all worked out.
Still, I wonder, what's the cause for this trouble?
I've read that several people had these problems. |
