Slack-live halts at grub prompt
by mknix from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5PTQV)
Hello, I tried two different isos, slackware64-live-current and slackware64-live-xfce-current, but the same thing happens on both.
I used the 'dd' command to create a live usb but when I tried booting from it I get this:
Code:Minimal BASH-line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions.
Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.
grub>Then hitting TAB gives a list of possible commands, from a-t, but nowhere do I see any option to boot live.
So where to from here? I should stress that I just want to run it live. I'm not ready to attempt an install yet as I have to transfer all my files to another drive and that will take some time. TIA.
EDIT: Forget to say that it never got to the point described here,
"This is a demonstration environment, with the purpose of getting you acquainted
with Slackware, remember? Therefore you will first see all these intimidating
kernel messages scrolling across the screen while booting the OS.
Then you need to login manually."

It never displayed "messages scrolling across the screen". It simply displayed the above and stopped right there.
