Hello guys
i have a slackware 12 , i want install backtrack 2 side slackware 12 .
in backtrack i want use from slackware partition . ( home , ...)
i want both use from a partition together.

Code:

/etc/fstab :
/dev/sda9       bt        ext3       Defaults     1     2

i can't use cdrom , and i must install backtrack from hard.
so , i did configure lilo .

Code:

/etc/lilo.conf :
image = /bt/boot/vmlinuz
root = /bt/BT
initrd = /bt/boot/initrd.gz
label = BackTrack
:wq
-------------
root@ware:~#lilo
"Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed
Added Winhole *
Added Slackware
Added BackTrack
One warning was issued."
------------
root@ware:~#init 6

restarted .
correctly added BackTrack label in Boot Loader (LILO) and starting to load Scripts
but typed this errors :

Code:

Cannot read module data. corrupted download?
*  -> mount: Couldn't setup loop device
Cannot read module data. corrupted download?
/proc/splash: No such file or directory
*copying content of rootcopy directory
*crerating /etc/fstab

linux live end, starting the Linux distribution
Usage: init 0123456SsQqAaBbCcUu
VFS: Cannot open root device "0" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root =" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

i don't have any cd for write and boot backtrack with cdrom

so help me for boot and install this live distro from hard.
tnx

are you talking about the "backtrack" which is meant for the penetration testers, which boots from the live cd...???

Copy /boot from /dev/sda9 (BackTrack) to /boot/backtrack (on Slackware root partition). Then modify /etc/lilo.conf:

Code:

image = /boot/backtrack/vmlinuz-<kernel>.<complete>.<name>
initrd = /boot/backtrack/initrd.gz
root = /dev/sda9
label = BackTrack

ok so i got success in installing backtrack 2. So now i've 3 o/s running on my machine. XP, Slackware and backtrack.
i followed http://digg.com/tech_news/Install_Ba...on_a_harddrive and now backtrack is running fantastically. But this is not all done. As Road_map has suggested, you will have to copy the /boot from the backtrack and copy that into the slackwares /boot as the bootloader would be of slackware. And accordingly make changes in the lilo.conf of slackware.
