problem booting Slackware 15 for first time
by johnreeves from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6GFZ0)
I have installed Slackware64 15.0 on a new build, successfully completing the setup script but on the reboot, returns to efi screen. I did change the boot priority to hard drive.
I downloaded the iso image from one of the mirrors, burned it to a dvd.
I use a usb dvd drive on the new build. I turned off safe boot, then booted using the usb dvd. I used cgdisk to set up both drives, m.2 and the rotating drives. I have tried putting the efi partition on the m.2, but the install would not boot up, I then wiped both drives and put the efi partition on the rotating drive, also would not boot up.
I got a "live" dvd to boot up so the motherboard options may be correct.
The new build uses a MSI PRO B760M-P DDR4 board, Samsung 980 nvme m.2 500GB and Seagate Baracuda 4TB hard drive.
What do I need to look for?
Thanks in advance
