/dev/hdd1 /

/dev/hdd3 swap

lilo.conf relevant parts:

#append hdX=ide-scsi
timeout 1
prompt
boot = /dev/hdd1

standard row / col

label = Linux
root = /dev/hdd1
image = /boot/vmlinuz

-- simple lilo configuration, could do it myself but it was more stable to use that and mobify it myself afterwards

I take it that this is not your lilo.conf and output of fdisk -l.
Most likely the error is somewhere in the lilo.conf file, so, if we could see the contents, we should be able to help you.

Ok, I got it solved.

The problem was in my /etc/lilo.conf

When I installed Slackware, I used simple method to configure lilo.
It makes it automatically, I was lazy.

Lilo thought that my first disk (what usually is) the disk where I wanted to boot from.

But in my case, it was the hdd1.

so boot = /dev/hda1 was what was wrong.
Fixed it to right disk and now it's working.

I thought I had allready checked that..

Anyway, thanks to everyone attempts to help me and so on.

To other newbie Linux users I want to say: CHECK TWICE YOUR CONFIG FILES
so you don't need to make yourself a clown. (Like I did)
