Hi, not sure if this helps but look at the entry I have for windows in this config file. Do you have a similar entry? Is LiLo installed in your mbr?

Lilo is in ur mbr indeed.
I see you'll have two kernels.
Slackware 1 as old and Slackware 2 as new

And do you really have SO much drives in ur pc?
Since hdi... I guess thats your problem..
That will say you'll have 10 drives in ur system..
