Slackware and the grub boot loader.

add -c to your mkinitrd command

Code:

mkinitrd -c -k 5.4.49-smp -f ext2 -r /dev/mmcblk0p2 -w 15 -m mmc_core:mmc_block:sdhci:sdhci_acpi:sdhci_pci:usb_storage:xhci_hcd:uas:xhci_pci:ext2 -u -o /boot/initrd.gz

There may be remnants of your 4.14 kernel left over and the -c will clear it out.

Came across this thread of yours from april https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...mc-4175627938/

I only installed the basic package (a series)

If this is still true, would suggest at a minimum installing all of a/ ap/ l/ n/

You'll need to use generic+initrd for that.

so you will need to use generic, not huge kernel

stf92 · 07-04-2020, 07:03 PM

No, I only downloaded CD 1 of 32-bit and somethings like ssh I did not installed them.

And are a/ ap/ l/ n/ in CD 1? I can't realize it at first sight.

colorpurple21859 · 07-04-2020, 07:30 PM

I think so, but not for sure,

stf92 · 07-04-2020, 07:35 PM

Series /l is not in CD 1. How do I install CD 2?

colorpurple21859 · 07-04-2020, 07:36 PM

has a ap and n, you may get by without l

It will ask you to insert cd 2 during the install
after installing a, ap and n you maybe able to chroot with the --bind mounts and install l with

Code:

slackpkg install l

colorpurple21859 · 07-04-2020, 07:51 PM

Did you upgrade to current earlier? if so then use chroot to install ap, l, n

stf92 · 07-04-2020, 07:53 PM

I'll reinstall CD 1 because it had given me 'used=1.6G' but after using slackpkg it grew to 2.2G. Isn't /l the libraries? So you'll have to wait some time until I am done, if you please. Thanks for all your help.

No I didn't. It's too large.

colorpurple21859 · 07-04-2020, 08:18 PM

an install of current with only a ap l n is about 5G

stf92 · 07-04-2020, 08:39 PM

I am getting

Code:

bash-4.3# slackpkg install a
touch: cannot touch '/var/lock/slackpkg.2912': No such file or directory

Looking for a in package list. Please wait... DONE

No packages match the pattern for install. Try:

	/usr/sbin/slackpkg reinstall|upgrade 


bash-4.3#
