Slack with LILO just works most of the time. I wanted to try to help you
when you first posted, but since I know almost nothing about Grub, I
couldn't, but now you mention that you might have an initrd problem.

Lots of people have problems with initrds. I suggest that you build a
kernel with support for all the things you need built-in and use modules
for everything else.

That means that your HD controller chipset, HD controller bus and
filesystem type would be compiled directly into the kernel, and you
wouldn't need an initrd.
