   I find that I cannot return the N150 mini that I had so   
   much trouble with, so now I am determined to get   
   Slackware installed on the M2 nvme0n1 partition.   
      
   As I have many times before, I created a new GPT   
   instance (o option) and created a 500M partition 1   
   with type ef00. I created a 5GB partition 2 with   
   type ef02. Finally I created partition 3 with all   
   the rest of the ssd.   
      
   The I startup the install. I tell it the target is   
   partition 3. It sees the efi partition. I let it   
   format the target as ext4, and I let the install   
   chug away.   
   When it comes to installing lilo, I decline and   
   let it install elilo instead. I finish the install,   
   remove the install usb, and let the system boot.   
      
   Along the way I was asked if I wanted bootmanager   
   to install a slackware entry. I have tried both   
   yes and no, with no change in the ultimate result.   
      
   While have I have tried many variations of the above   
   process, they all and with this screen:   
      
   ELILO v3.16 for EFI/x86_64   
   .   
   Loading kernel vmlinuz... done   
   Loading file initrd.gz...done   
      
   And the system hangs.   
      
      
   After previous attempts to install Slackware,   
   I had successfully installed Debian, then Ubuntu.   
   I choose neither of these and want get Slackware   
   running.   
      
   I have been counseled in this newsgroup to install   
   grub, even though I know elilo works because it is   
   what the install stick uses. If I want to install   
   grub, would these steps work after the install:   
      
   1. choose to enter a shell   
   2. see where the operating partition is installed.   
   3. cd to that parttion   
   4. do this sequence:   
      
   	mount --bind /proc proc   
   	mount --bind /sys sys   
   	mount --bind /dev dev   
      
   4. chmod /mountpoint   
   5. grub-mkconfig >/boot/grub/grub.cfg   
   6. grub-install /dev/nvme0n1   
      
      
   Somehow, somewhere the system seems to remember that Ubuntu   
   and windows were (are) installed. I booted into a live   
   Slackware and used efibootmgr to try to remove any mention   
   of them by -b option, but they seem ensconced in the system.   
      
   I know the problem is my fault because the USB stick does   
   boot, but I would *greatly* appreciate knowing what I   
   have been doing wrong.   
      
   Thanks, and I am sorry for bringing this matter up again.
