Well i installed slackware 10.1 today

and now when i boot the PC. after the POST, it goes to a black sreen that says

Press any key to reboot.


im stumped!
why?
i didn't see nothing on the slackware site....any one?
thanks

You probably installed lilo to / or /boot rather than the
MBR ... so the box thinks there's no OS on the machine.

If this is the case ...


To fix it, boot with the install-cd, select the appropriate
kernel, and tell it to use the partition you installed
Slack to ... e.g.
bare.i noinitrd boot=/dev/hdaX ro
where X is the root partition you installed to.

That should boot your installed Slack and let you
modify /etc/lilo.conf to have boot=/dev/hda
rather than e.g. boot=/dev/hda1 ... save that, then
run lilo.

Reboot, and voila!
