I think your bootloader is looking at the wrong partition.

What is your partition layout?

cfdisk shows:

Device            Boot        Start                End Sectors            Size            ID Type /dev/sda1                        2048               16779263 16777216        8G             82 Linux swap /dev/sda2          *            16779264        500118191    483333 9828    230.5 G     83    Linux

Where is your slackware root partition?
Does this answer that?

In fstab, /dev/sda1 is not listed. It is the swap partition.
/dev/sda2 is listed with a mount point of / and a file system type of ext4.

What does your lilo.conf look like?

# LILO configuration file ...
append=" "

  boot = /dev/sda
#compact

# Boot BMP Image
# Bitmap in BMP format: 640x488x8
  bitmap = /boot/slack.bmp
# Menu colors ...
  bmp-colors = 255,0,255,0,255,0
# Locatoin of the option table ...
  bmp-table = 60,6,1,16
# Timer location ...
  bmp-timer = 65,27,0,255

#Standard menu ...

#Wait until the timeout to boot ...
prompt
# Timeout before the first entry boots ...
timeout = 1200
# Override dangerous defaults ...
change-rules
  reset
# Normal VGA console
vga = normal
# Ask for video mode at boot ...
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
  root = /dev/sda2
  label = linux
  read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends


image = /boot/vmlinuz
  root = /dev/sda2


Thanks for the help.
