   I spent a lot of time trying to get Slackware 15.0 installed on   
   the only UEFI system I have.  I tried so many things that when   
   I finally got something to work I couldn't remember the exact   
   steps I followed. Over the course of my efforts I tried to   
   install both Debian and Ubuntu each of which succeded. I   
   then I noticed that the EFI partition had both Debian and   
   Ubuntu stuff in it.   
      
   Henrik, do you format the EFI partition as vfat before starting   
   the install? As far as I can remember I never did that.   
   That would explain all my problems if the Slackware install   
   expected that the efi partition was formatted, and later   
   while booting the system could not find a vfat partition to   
   read.   
      
   Thanks.
