You are using the same kernel for both Slack and RH. You need
to have separate a kernel for Slack (call it, vmlinuz.slack) and a
kernel for RH (call it, vmlinuz.rh) in the directory that is accessed
by lilo when you run "lilo". If /boot does not reside on its own
partition, then you need to copy /boot/vmlinuz from your Slack
partition to /boot/vmlinuz.slack on your RH partition (or vice versa
with appropriate name changes). Then edit both of your
lilo.confs and rerun lilo (on either distro). To be sure, you don't
really need to have both distros using a boot loader (since only is
in residence at any given time, but it's safer to have the same
lilo.conf just in case. . .).
If /boot has its own partition (the recommended way for
multi-Linux systems), then just copy all the relevant kernels there
with the correct names, and make sure your lilo.conf files are
set up correctly.
I never worry about the warnings on the drive geometry, but if
you are concerned, you can probably google for an answer.
You should also change your lilo.conf to make Slack the default,
it makes your computer much more stable.
