I have 2 hdd's hda and hdb. I have RH 9 on hda2 w/ grub as bootloader. I then installed slackware 9 on hdb2 (which previously had RH 8.) hdb3 also has RH 8. Slackware is on reiserfs.
I have installed lilo of slackware on boot sector of / (hdb2) as I did not make a seperate boot partition.
I have copied the vmlinuz of slack to /boot of RH 9 and have made the entries in grub.conf as below:
default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux 9 (2.4.20-8) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/12 hdd=ide-scsi initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img title Slackware 9 (2.4.20) root (hd1,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-ide-2.4.20 ro hdd=ide-scsi
^^^^^^
Why don't you try adding "root=/dev/hdb2" (or whatever is the root partition for your slackware install) in the above line and see if it boots correctly?
