- Create an initrd (I'm using the generic kernel). I used this command in the /boot directory:
mkinitrd -c -k 4.4.115 -m ext4 -f ext4 -r /dev/sda3
This assumes that you are using ext4 and that /dev/sda3 is root - Copy initrd.gz, vmlinuz-generic-4.4.115, and vmlinuz-huge to /boot/efi/EFI/Slackware
- Edit elilo.conf to reflect the boot parameters you want. Mine looks like this:
default=generic
prompt chooser=simple
delay=100
timeout=100
#
image=vmlinuz-generic-4.4.115
initrd=initrd.gz
root=/dev/sda3
label=generic
description="Slackware64 14.2"
read-only
image=vmlinuz
root=/dev/sda3
label=huge description="Slackware64 14.2 Huge"
read-only
append="root=/dev/sda3 vga=normal ro"
