New Install boots to Blank Screen

Fresh install of Slack12 installed without any errors.

When I boot, it goes into Lilo, which gives me the option of either my Windows Partition(which it added automatically to my surprise) or Slack. Booting to windows works fine, but when booting slack it gives me a blank screen.
