Welcome to 09Slackware (32-bit)07 version 15.1 (Linux kernel 6.12.4)! If you need to pass extra parameters to the kernel, enter them at the prompt below after the name of the kernel to boot (e.g., generic.s). NOTE: If your machine has a Pentium M, you *might* need to boot with the generic.s kernel adding the command line parameter forcepae (but you can try without it to see). If the parameter is needed, you'll also have to append this in your bootloader settings later. In a pinch, you can boot your system from here with a command like: boot: generic.s root=/dev/sda1 initrd= ro In the example above, /dev/sda1 is the / Linux partition. To test your memory with memtest86+, enter memtest on the boot line below. This prompt is just for entering extra parameters. If you don't need to enter any parameters, hit ENTER to boot the default kernel "generic.s" or press [F2] for a listing of more kernel choices. Default kernel will boot in 2 minutes.
