Well here's a run down of what i did. I had to go back and re-configure my kernel settings. It took acouple times (and a couple hrs), but i managed to do it. Troubleshoot. I can't really give you advice on that; seeing as you are probably running different hardware than I. You have to costomize it for your own hardware. After all that is why you are configuring it right? I'll list below what i had changed.

then went into lilo.conf and took acid_kewpie and DROZZ's advice and deleted the "vga=771" and "vga=normal" lines "/sbin/lilo" rebooted and that was it!
I hope this works for you man, because i know you're probably about ready to go on a killing spree as well!
I got some info in the Slackware forum center here...

and if it's still wrong i don't care...it boots!
