Problems after Slackware Installation


Hi all,

I recently install Slackware on my Laptop, and I have the following issue:

After installation process, booting my laptop to get the welcome screen of Slackware, the system boot normally but it never show me the welcome screen, the PC turn to a Black screen and don't do anything, i was think that can be the resolution configured, and i change this in LILO after change this parameter in the lilo by command prompt, it was compilated and i reboot my PC.... The issue appears again and i don't know what should be creating this problems.

All comments will be apreciate!!!
