title Slackware 10.0
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317 selinux=0 resume=/dev/hda2

You have root at hd0,2 and also at /dev/hda2.
These are different partitions.
Change root to hd0,2 to hd0,1 or dev/hda2 to /dev/hda3.
hd0,0 = hda1
hd0,1 = hda2
hd0,2 = hda3How to know if you are a geek.
