Hi all. Well, thankfully I was able to get someone sighted in here to read me the error messages I got from the kernel when I tried to boot in to it to install slackware properly. Below are the list of system and error messages which I thought were relevant here, and I've put spaces where appropriate to make the text read more precisely. If you need more info let me know off list. Hdc: cd-56e,atapicd/dvd-rom drive Unable to handle kernel Null pointer dereference at virtual address 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Printing EIP: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 * p d e =00000000 Oops: 0 0 0 0 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<0000000] not tainted E flags: 00010286 eax:0000000b evx: 00000003 ecx:00000000 edx: 00000003 process swapper(pid: 1, stack page=c10b3000) (reader's note, after this line is messages relating to the stack codes which are not included) code: bad EIP value <0> Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
