I am sorry if I misunderstand what you are saying.

Boot from your CD at the boot prompt type linux=/dev/hdxx noinitrd ro
the /dev/hdxx should be your root partition of your slack install. after it boots, login in as root and type lilo.
hope that helps.

Hello again, i solved my problem

i use CD1 in the boot prompt i just give enter, and in the login prompt i put the word root and enter, then instead of go to the cf disk stuff i use

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt

then

chroot /mnt /sbin/lilo

and voila lilo run, and my new kernel 2.4.25 was detect. i restart and here i am using my slacky

which i love so much.

but thanks, i can,t make a lot of things if i won,t read your post in this forum.
