If you are using elilo with Slackware, after running the
slackpkg --upgrade-all script and you see that a new kernel
was installed, you need to run the following commands to move the latest
kernel to its proper location in order to boot:
geninitrd
cp /boot/vmlinuz-generic /boot/efi/EFI/Slackware/vmlinuz
cp /boot/initrd.gz /boot/efi/EFI/Slackware/initrd.gz
