There are a few things wrong with that config, change it to the following:

The slackware installer has vi if you know how to use that, or copy/paste
into a new file and copy it over the existing elilo.conf.
While not a fan of vi, I can muddle through with it as long as I have a
cheat sheet, which I found.
Trying to use the USB stick to boot with that elilo.conf produces an
error that vmlinuz-huge isn't found. I still get a GRUB menu with
Slackware as the option. I can still boot into the install USB.
Earlier today I tried using the elilo.conf contents you referred to earlier:
image=vmlinuz
label=vmlinuz
read-only
append="root=/dev/sda2 vga=normal ro"
That worked, so I'll go back to that and try again.
That works.
Now to go back to the beginning of this thread and see why I started it.
There was some issue with upgrading, I think.
I assume I should run those things again and make sure I'm up to date.
