Looks like your init is messed up. We could do with more error's. If possible

Also try and use moer meaningful topic names.

sandra, does it say wich file it couldn't open?

No, 10 seconds after I start Linux, there is warning ''Unable to open an initial console''. I am afraid I will have to reinstall slackware, probably I have deleted some files by accident!!! terible!!!

I found another forum were they discussed the same problem.

however if you don't have any important work etc. saved in your root partition
i recommend you to just reinstall the slackware system.

good luck

Probably you need to install the devs package. You would have to use a bootdisk/cd to boot into linux then mount your root partition. Do a chroot to the root partition and finally run

installpkg devs-2.3.1-noarch-22.tgz

You may have a different package but it will be on the cd in the /slackware/a/ directory.
