Thought I had done an geninitrd for new .145 kernel...

Hey gang,
Well, I've done something to my system again that I need you smart fellers for.
I have been using slackpkg for trhe past 5 or 6 months I think, and with good results. I even used it for the kernel update before this last one for 15.0 x64 and all went well.
This time though, I'm not sure what happened or where it happened, but I had to shut down the system today because of a power outage. When I bootrd back up 30 minutes later, I was greeted with this on a black screen in the upper left corner:
Code:>>Checking Media Presence..... It originally was that with the added:
Code:UEFI: PXE IPV4 Realtek Family Controller something-or-other Seeing's as I have no clue what 'PXE' is and have never seen a message like this before, I figured for some reason it was trying to boot from my modem, so I unplugged the network wire and rebooted and just got the first line above about checking media presence.
I went into my BIOS, and nothing had changed, other than it was showing the network plug as 'lit up' instead of the UEFI hard drive I should be booting from.
I'm going to presume that I screwed up somehow and didn't get the
Code:geninitrd done as I usually do and now the system has no clue what to boot from.
I simply have no idea what to do about this, nor even what to look/search for as a question in a search.
Is there any 'easy' way out of this mess...one easy enough for an idiot who has a hard time counting to ten or remembering his name? Really, I need it to be nice and simple, though I'm sure it can't be, heh.
