You can remove the warning about LBA32 (see the link I posted at the beginning)
The fatal error it shows is something completely different.

Code:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
# Append any additional kernel parameters:
append=" vt.default_utf8=0"
boot = /dev/sda

# Boot BMP Image.
# Bitmap in BMP format: 640x480x8
  bitmap = /boot/slack.bmp
# Menu colors (foreground, background, shadow, highlighted
# foreground, highlighted background, highlighted shadow):
  bmp-colors = 255,0,255,0,255,0
# Location of the option table: location x, location y, number of
# columns, lines per column (max 15), "spill" (this is how many
# entries must be in the first column before the next begins to
# be used.  We don't specify it here, as there's just one column.
  bmp-table = 60,6,1,16
# Timer location x, timer location y, foreground color,
# background color, shadow color.
  bmp-timer = 65,27,0,255

# Standard menu.
# Or, you can comment out the bitmap menu above and 
# use a boot message with the standard menu:
#message = /boot/boot_message.txt

# Wait until the timeout to boot (if commented out, boot the
# first entry immediately):
prompt
# Timeout before the first entry boots.
# This is given in tenths of a second, so 600 for every minute:
timeout = 1200
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
  reset
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x256
vga = 773
# Normal VGA console
# vga = normal

Well, add "lba32" in a single line above the "append..." line. Then change "other=/dev/sda1" to "other=/dev/sda2" and execute lilo.
It is necessary, that grub is actually installed on the bootsector of /dev/sda7, please check this since you will get also a lilo error if it can't find the entry in the bootsector of /dev/sda7

I don't really know what else to suggest. Everything seems fine (at least to me). The other option can be that grub wasn't properly installed on /dev/sda7.

Either you can wait for suggestions of other LQ members or we can try the grub option as Markus suggested before. As you can't boot into Fedora, you'd have to install grub in slackware:
