You need to either fix the partition table yourself, tell lilo to fix it, or tell lilo to ignore it (my preference would be to fix it manually). During install, the lilo.conf will be in /mnt/etc/lilo.conf as per these instructions for manually re-installing lilo in an unbootable system: http://blog.tpa.me.uk/2009/09/29/re-...kware-boot-cd/ [...] [...] You would probably have several responses by now if you posted in the Slackware forum rather than the Newbie forum.
