"Loading LinuxEBDA is big; kernel setup stack overlaps LILO second stage"
what a!!
I've installed clean Slack 11 with 2.6.17.13 kernel + Kernel's stuff - generic, modules, source. And after rebooting I can see the above message.
Any ideas??
And what is "LinuxEBDA"?
There is some explanation and possibly solution here. This contains another link that seemed dead (website down?) when I tried it, but maybe it will work for you.

The EBDA is the Extended BIOS Data Area which stores some data structures used by the BIOS.

If you install the 2.6.17.13 kernel you don't need to install the generic kernel.
Guys, all is simple. I've Installed Slack 11 with 2.6.18 + Kernel stuff - generic, modules, source, then Nvidia driver 8776 version and then ran "lilo" (all these - right after slack installation, then reboot!!). All became solid like a rock.
