[Solved] Salix kernel panic

[sqlpython]

Another reason why the simple elegance of Lilo is sometimes better..........
Anyway I have a possible solution which I have used when using Grub2..
...Grub2 sometimes miss identifies partition UUID when searching for distros to place in the menu.
It will do this on occasion with Arch.
So what to do..
I must sometimes manually configure the Arch & Salix sections of the /boot/grub/grub.cfg
..Keep in mind this particular grub.cfg belongs to the Booting Grub2 which Distro had installed in the MBR...Not the grub.cfg of the Distro failing to boot.

Boot into the Distro that owns the Grub2 Menu.
As root edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Once the file is loaded into the editor save a copy as grub.txt (as a fall back)
Next leave the grub.cfg open and Open a Terminal.
As su (root user) run command blkid
This will give a a list of each partition's UUID ..Leave listing to cut and past to grub.cfg.
...Note the UUID for the Salix partition..
.....Is it the Exact same as the blkid listing of the Salix partition..probably Not.
.......Cut and Paste the correct UUID to reference in the menuentry

Here is my example with the points you probably have to correct..

menuentry "Slackware Linux (13.1.0) (on /dev/sda7)" --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos7)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root b2556642-57de-4d39-8337-fefb1f3d283f
linux /boot/vmlinuz-huge-smp-2.6.33.4-smp root=/dev/sda7s49
}

Save and reboot.
Worst case you have the original backed up as grub.txt and can save that back to grub.cfg.

Well I solved it

I opened grub.cfg in Sabayon Linux and I discovered that there were 3 menù entries for Salix. As the one I tried to boot hasn' t worked, I erased it and I rewrote it looking at the blkid command. Now everything works properly.

Thank you very much for your help.
