sorry, I don't understand yet what is missing in my lilo.conf (SuSE in /dev/hda6) to make my option "slackware" bootable. Slackware is in /dev/hda10 and the option "linux" (for SuSE) is booting. I can boot slackware with the cd-rom and entering: $bare.i root=/dev/hda10 noinitrd ro If I can boot with CD-ROM, so there is nothing wrong with the slackware partition. So, how could I make it bootable too, via boot menu of SuSE? Thanks for any help a. To understand my situation take a look at: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-May/2581.html
Basically, there are two ways of doing it. You can either use lilo from slackware, and set suse's lilo to use it as a chainloader, or you can mount your slackware partition from suse, and put the slackware kernel in suse's lilo so you boot it directly. In other words, if you do it the way you have it in your suse lilo right now, you need to have slackware's partition mounted when you run /sbin/lilo in suse. You probably also want to set the image to point to the slackware kernel in /mnt/slackware/boot/ (or wherever you mount it) The other way would be to do something like "other=/dev/hda10". It should work but I'm not 100% sure of the syntax
