After -current upgrade, I forgot to update lilo before rebooting!
 

I just took the plunge and upgraded to -current.
On the way out I forgot to run lilo.

Result? My "-current" problem/question now is ....

Edit: Found the solution:
written up elsewhere so i won't give details:
use Install media, login as root, mount root directory, chroot to this, then edit lilo.conf, then run lilo, reboot!

Glad you found a solution. The info you did give could be helpful to others

you are more than welcome!
if you google "forgot to run lilo slackware" you find 2 or 3 confirmed different successful methods detailed for you (or one looking for such help)

cheers
