Hey guys! How are you? I am going fine...well, I am still a little nb on Linux, specially in the boot configuration. I try to do my best to learn it and avoid problems, but not all the time it is possible. The problem is the following:
I have 3 OS installed in my computer:
1. Windows XP /dev/hda1
2. Slackware Linux /dev/hda7
3. SuSe Linux /dev/hda8
I am trying to make a boot for the 3, but it is not working. Windows and Slackware boots fine, but when I try to boot SuSe Linux (using the lilo that comes with Slackware):
Kernel panic: unable to mount root fs on hda8
Here is my /etc/lilo.conf:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/hda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:

root = /dev/hda7
label = Slackware
read-only
# Slackware boot ends
# SuSe comes here, guys
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4-52-smp
root = /dev/hda8
label = SuSe
#SuSe ends

I would appreciate so much any help.
If I try to set /boot/vmlinuz for SuSe, it "loads" but gets some modules erros, probably because it is loading the wrong kernel.
So I have also 1 little question:
1. I don't know if the /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4-52-smp should be present on the /boot dir under slackware (/dev/hda7) or SuSe (/dev/hda8), so if someone could explain me please... (the file is already present on /boot of the both systems but it doesn't work anyway).
Well, thanks so much for your attention guys...and sorry for any nb question...
