LILO hasnt written to the MBR, so the MBR doesnt load LILO hence you
dont get the bootup process.

Put in the DVD, login as root as if you are installing,

dont type "setup"

instead, type

mount -t <filesystem of your hard disk> /dev/hda1 /mnt

this should mount the file system onto the /mnt directory (assuming that
you installed Slack onto /dev/hda1.. if not replace with where you did
install it).

then:

chroot /mnt;

check the file: /etc/lilo.conf  to make sure that it not only exists but
that the line: " boot =3D /dev/hda " exists.

then type: lilo

you should get something like:

Added linux*


the  reboot, all should be well, if not then is there anything different
about your setup.. scsi disk etc?
