Slackware (current) does not work properly after update
Hi.
I use Slackware current with KDE Plasma as graphic interface, and I did an update. After that, Slackware stopped work properly. At the initial screen (terminal, before use starx command) the keyboard of the notebook works normal, but the USB keyboard don't. After I enter the graphical interface (using startx command) the KDE Plasma loads and show the desktop, but the keyboard (now, the notebook keyboard) and the mouse do not work. The O.S. seems to continue working, because after a time the screen locks automatically. I've tried to upgrade again the Slackware at the terminal, but a error appears. That's when I saw that the network card was not being recognized. I used the ifconfig -a but it did not show my network card, only shows lo result. The commands that I used to upgrade the Slackware before the errors was: Code:
slackpkg update |

Anyway, you are still lucky that you can boot the system, and you can inspect it. |

Show your /etc/lilo.conf
And, did you observed a kernel update when you did the last update? As principle, after a kernel update you should run "lilo" to update your bootloader. BUT, usually you should also update your initrd, too. |

BTW, what architecture you use? i586 or x86_64? |
It happened some times to me and what I do in these cases is a chroot using the installation media (USB drive in my case).
You can follow this great guide here https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:sl...oot_from_media. Once you are inside the chroot, just run /shin/lilo and it should be good to go after a reboot, provided that you didn't switch to the generic kernel after the installation. EDIT: sorry after a better read i see that you are indeed running a generic kernel, better follow the luckycyborg advice |

And the Kernel's version: that's exactly what you said 5.15.18 |
