Ok, just added nomodeset to the append line in lilo.conf and I comment out all vga lines but getting this warning:
Warning: Video adapter does not support VESA BIOS extensions needed for
display of 256 colors. Boot loader will fall back to TEXT only operation.
I can confirm that with nomodeset added I have the console visible. Thanks.
Just as a question, is now Postfix the default mta in current ?
Yes.
Code:

[...]
n/postfix-3.2.4-x86_64-1.txz: Added.
This will be the default MTA in the next Slackware release. Thanks to
Alan Hicks, Mario Preksavec, and /dev/rob0 for assistance.
And Dovecot is now somehow the default IMAP and POP3 email server.

I am trying to bisect the kernel to find out why my modem stopped working on 5.4.1. (it worked on 5.4.0), and autoversioning would help to avoid confusing modules_install.
Just my opinion on that, but a bisection is already cumbersome enough that I've always just made a quick edit to the .config to add "b1" and then "b2" and so on after each "git bisect (good|bad)" invocation...
Can the rust package be built for i586 instead of i686?
The rust devs seem to think that i686 means Pentium4+SSE2 (it never has and it never will), and the result is something that won't work on all i686 machines. I've got an Athlon XP 2500+ that is unable to run rustc/firefox/seamonkey/etc. since they're all contaminated with SSE2 instructions.

But your box with Athlon XP 2500+ has enough memory and computing power to accommodate memory hogs like those Firefox or Seamonkey or, with some enthusiasm and patience, to compile them?
I am afraid that that Pentium4+SSE2 is for real a bare minimum to run decently a modern Firefox.

He's asking for the rust compiler alone, I assume he's compiling FF and SM on his own and compiling rust too is a bit too much for him to compile every now and then?
