I've a multiboot machine and I recently installed Slackware64-13.1 on sda33. I added menu entry in SUSE boot loader and configured menu list as per http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...oblems-244455/, it returns GrUB error 15.
Here is my menu list entry for Slackware -
Code:
###Don't change this comment - YaST2 identifier: Original name: other###
title Slackware64-13.1
root (hd0,32)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda33 ro hdd=scsi
savedefault
boot
During Lilo install on sda33 it returned error saying unable to install Lilo on sda33, please configure it manually. I mounted the partition and found lilo.conf in '/'.
Secondly, I will like to label Slackware '/' & '/home', can I use gparted and label them or I need to make further configurations, have not seen any label on '/etc/fstab' or '/etc/lilo.conf'
Best,
David

I boot my Slackware from my Suse Grub. I installed LILO on the Salckware boot partition, and chainload it from the Grub bootloader. Here's the call in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Code:
### manually added
title Slackware 13.1
root (hd2,0)
chainloader (hd2,0)+1

Paste your menu.lst here, just the part that calls Slackware. Are you using the drive and partition that LILO is on? It looks like it isn't even seeing the LILO boot partition. In Legacy Grub 0.97, (hd0) is the first drive sda, and (hd0,0) is the first partition, sda1. So you would need for sda33, (hd0,34).

You can change them e.g. with fdisk but they are irrelevant for boot. Even if your /etc/fstab uses /dev/disk/by-id/..... labels, these are different from the names one can stick on ones partitions.
