[]: This bug persists when memory is increased beyond 8GB.

Describe the bug

Slackware-current doesn't boot as the -current bzImage path is kernels/generic.s/. Stable bzImage path is kernels/huge.s/.

kernel ${slackware_mirror}/${dir}/kernels/huge.s/bzImage

I'm not exactly sure if huge.s means kernel-huge or just generic one. Current has removed support for huge-kernel as noted in the Changelog (http://www.slackware.com/changelog/current.php?cpu=x86_64).

a/kernel-huge-6.10.9-x86_64-1.txz: Removed.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download netboot 2.0.84.
  2. Boot the ISO in QEMU (or any other virtualization software).
  3. Select Slackware-current from Linux Network Installs

Expected behavior

-current should boot.
