Grub In Slackware64-current

After upgrading to kernel 5.4.1 in Slackware64-current, elilo did not work at all, even after running eliloconfig. I realized that the latest Slackware64-current ISO (http://slackware.uk/people/alien-current-iso/slackware64-current-iso/) was running grub as the bootloader. I decided to give grub a try. These are the steps I followed:

1) Uninstall elilo (removepkg elilo)
2) Removed all files under /boot/efi/EFI/elilo (create a backup before removing the folder, in case you need the files afterwards)
3) Run "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" to create the required boot entries
4) Reboot and test
