I had to update my system so i used
which downloaded all the updates i needed, then i run
and all my updates were done but when i restarted the computer it showed me this:
after this nothing happens, any suggestions on how to fix it and why it happens?

probably because you didn't read the instructions for some of the updates. While most just require you to restart a service (or reboot), there are kernel patches at this time so you need to run lilo.

so how can i fix it?

I just thought I would add a little more instruction on how to do this as you probably wiped out all of your kernel images. You will need to boot into linux using a rescue disk, liveCD, or the slackware install cd. From there you will have to:

1) mount your slackware install
Change the parts in italics for your installation.

2) chroot to your installation
Check to make sure you are in your installation by listing some known user directories or something.

3) run lilo
4) Reboot


Of course, if you still have any working kernel images that weren't upgraded (ie. not one of the official slackware kernel images) then you can just boot into that and run lilo.

just a quick question would everything be as it was or is it deleted?

So, to fix it, I would boot the install CD or DVD, then chroot into your HDD environment and then run '/sbin/lilo'.

EDIT: I'm slow poster (I open all threads I choose, then answer them in order), so yes do as shadowsnipes says.

If you do as it says everything will return to normal as if nothing had happened.

I do the same thing Sometimes if I have had a tab open for awhile I will reload the page before posting.

Just to say thank you and that everything worked well

Good to see that fixed it.

Yeah, I should remember to reload once in a while.

BULPulse,

Glad to hear you got everything working! If you haven't already done so, I recommend that you subscribe to the security mailing list. This will help you keep informed of security patches as they come and will show you if any additional steps are needed to complete upgrades.

For information on subscribing I refer you to the slackbook page at http://www.slackbook.org/html/help-o...P-ONLINE-EMAIL.

You should also update any .new config files. To find them run:
find /etc -name "*.new"
Then: mv file.comfig.new file.config
