In brief I had some difficulty getting the correct kernel to load on a dual bootable slackware 32/64 system.
I managed to get both installs working using a combination of this post:

(and subsequently post 6 below)
and reference to lilo.conf etc.
I'm just wondering why LILO works this way. The best explanation I can think of is that LILO, when installed writes a physical location of the kernel to the MBR, ie by sector rather than from a FAT or suchlike (I assume this is the case since as far as I can find out LILO doesn't understand filesystems so I can't see hown it would n).
Any thoughts, confirmation or flames?
