I tried:

boot: bare.i root=/dev/hda1

and it boots into my regular linux off the hd and not the cd, but the sound doesnt work Yet, im not sure if it is using the new kernel?

*edit*

Also if it helps, this is my current /etc/lilo.conf (the one i used on my last recompile)

Code:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
append="opl3=0x388"
boot = /dev/hda1
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 1200
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
  reset
# Normal VGA console
vga = normal
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
# vga=791
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x32k
# vga=790
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
# vga=773
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x64k
# vga=788
# VESA framebuffer console @ 800x600x32k

# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k
# vga=784
# VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x256
# vga=769
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz.old
  root = /dev/hda1
  label = slack
  read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

I was thinking, even though i booted from the cdrom, hda1, maybe it is not using the new compiled kernel. Like, if i had lilo running, it would let me choose, so maybe when i boot hda1 from the cdrom it is using the old kernel?

*edit*
I just found out that i cannot make a boot disk, the kernel is too big So i need to fix LILO or get the CDRom to boot the new compiled kernel off hda1

This
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz.old
root = /dev/hda1
label = slack
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
Should look like this
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda1
label = slack
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz.old
root=/dev/hda1
label=linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

You corrected your /etc/lilo.conf file?

I'm wondering if you may need the lowmem.i kernel. bare.i maybe be to big after compiling.

On my earlier post, where it says :

IMAGE=/kernels/bare.i/bzImage

The /kernels/bare.i/bzImage is from the CD Just to let you know.

scroll about 1/4 of the way down for a description of the kernels.

I must be stupid. I should have told you to run /sbin/lilo this time after modifying lilo.conf

Ok, i ran it i got:

Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed
Added slack *
Added linux

Then i rebooted and booted from the cd

boot: bare.i /dev/hda1 noinitrd ro

And logged in, started X but the sound still doesnt work

BTW I dont have lowmem.i on the cd, i only have these:

adaptec.s
bare.i
jfs.s
raid.s
scsi.s
scsi2.s
speakup.i
xfs.i

idk why the sound wont work, when i compiled and made slack i did everything!
