Haha, I have been using Slackware 9.1 since it came out, back then it was just minor problems like having to fix the sound scripts, okay that's fine, I realize that everyone does not have the same hardware, but in Slackware 13.1 their are much bigger problems, ie: lilo is configured properly but if you were to boot off anything but the primary harddrive /dev/sdb for example the kernel boots then when it ties to find init it cant because there is no other devices present, so this is to do with rc.sysinit and nothing else. Obviously this script had been changed over the years and is now broken for anyone that has multiple distros or /boot partition not residing on /dev/sda. So nothing held my hand, but if you can't upgrade you distro because magically something got broken how is that my fault? This is what 'current' is for is it not? to stomp out the bugs. So coward now what?

Slackware is garbage as far as I am concerned, they make drastic changes that destroy basic functionality so they can make way for some software no one cares about. You would think they would fix bugs that stop the user from booting from just the first partition, instead they would just deal with compz issues... because you know, not being able to boot is less important then teh 3D Desktop...zomg teh kewlness!
