   Go through the install process again. This time, make a boot usb.   
   Do not install elilo (EVER).   
      
   After the installation, reboot the machine using the boot usb.   
      
   run grub-mkconfig >/boot/grub/grub.cfg   
   edit that file to delete menu entries that do not include   
   those you want. In particular, change entries that look like   
   this:  linux /boot/vmlinuz-......  and delete the stuff   
   like 5.15.59, or whatever. The only boot kernel entries   
   should be /boot/vmlinuz   
      
   Run grub-install XXX   
      
   where XXX is the device that contains the slackware installation.   
   For example,  if the installation went to mmcblk0p5, the grub   
   command would be:   
   grub-install /dev/mmcblk0
