Slackware Help Needed!

[darkgod]

After completing the setup for slackware(installing LILO to the MBR), I reboot into the LILO boot selector. Selecting linux, Everything runs smoothly until These Lines are printed onto the screen:

raid0 registered personally
linear registered personally

When these lines are presented, the boot up process seems to have froze. Any Ideas on what the cause of this could be? Any suggestions are appreciated.

from my log file:

So it seems they are normal messages you are getting. The next step must be the problem.
On my machine, the next step is networking.

Hope this helps

When networking ask to probe my machine for card, it Freezes aswell. What can I do?

Perhaps you could boot in single user mode and remove all unnecessary steps from your run-level. Then start adding them back to see which one causes the freeze. I recommend reading up on the boot process before doing this.
