Booting Slack 12.0

[fvs]

Just install debian etch on hd1 with Slackware 12 on hd3 which I already had running with lilo bootloader, I selected Grub on debian to use for bootload, Now debian grub has 4 titles slackware /hd3 for booting and I tried to boot from the first one and got kernel panic.
Looked into grub menu and found that each of the slackware hd3 have different kernel /boot/vmlinuz. Ok which kernel is the right one?

mount hda3 partition and open /etc/lilo.conf file. check which kernel version its using. is it using any kernel parameter ( append line ). edit menu.lst file of Debian accordingly.
check /boot partition of hda3 for available kernels.

OK here it is,
Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda3
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends

What do I put in Grub?

[devils casper]

just put vmlinuz only.

title Slackware Linux 
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda3
savedefault
boot
