Fedora Core + Slackware
So I have Slack for about a week on my laptop. And I decided to put Fedora Core on as well. I did another partition using Partition Magic 8 on my HDD and went ahead and put Fedora on. Problem is, now Slack will give me a kernel panic and freeze [obviously]. My layout is [according to fdisk]:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 3858 30989353+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 3859 7296 27615735 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 3859 5981 17052966 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda6 5982 6503 4192933+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 6504 6634 1052226 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda8 6635 6765 1052226 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda9 6766 6774 72261 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda10 6775 7296 4192933+ 83 Linux
On /dev/hda10 is the Slack install, with /dev/hda6 being Fedora. What I'm thinking is that Slack is confused which is its boot partition [used to be /dev/hda8. now it is /dev/hda10] so that's why it freezes. If I mount the Slack partition, is there any file I can alter in order to make it now refer to /dev/hda10 instead of it's older partition?
And a second quick thing... how can I make Fedora Core not automatically start the X Window system? [for people that have done it in RedHat, your input is appreciated since it is probably the same thing].
Thanx for everybody's time!
