Make sure the kernel version you are running is the kernel version you have installed.
so, for example $ slackpkg search kernel-generic You probably get entries for 4.4.172 $ uname -r returns the kernel version currently running. If these don't match then it won't work. Also, the errors you posted are the result of the the problem. I need to see more of the log to know what actually happened. Feel free to send me a direct email with it attached as a text file.
