Both times I tried to install I had lilo install on the MBR. However, during the initial reboot after installation my computer just hangs after it POSTs. It works fine when I use the install CD as a boot CD so I am guessing something with lilo is not correct. Any ideas? Thanks.

PS. This is a fresh install on a clean hard drive that will be single boot into Slack.

Hi,
Did you check the mdsum for the iso if you did a download?
Please post your lilo.conf file.
When you use your boot cd you can do one test, what happens when you do as root;
Code:
#lilo -v -t -b /dev/hda #change device to your's
#this will test lilo.conf
#no boot write, post errors
#lilo -v -b /dev/hda #write mbr to /dev/hda
