 Have you ever had your /dev/sda and /dev/sdb drives switch order? Has plugging in a USB device before booting your computer caused a kernel panic? Do you frequently unplug or plug in new devices into your computer, thus changing the order of the device names? If you said yes to any of those, you might be a good candidate to use persistent naming within your bootloader and fstab. Have you ever had your /dev/sda and /dev/sdb drives switch order?

 The LBA32 warning is normal with Slackware's ''lilo.conf'' and can be ignored (however, you can get rid of it by added ''LBA32'' in the Global section of your ''lilo.conf''). The main thing we're looking for is that all of our stanzas were added and no errors were issued. If that worked, then we can run lilo by itself to finish the process. The LBA32 warning is normal with Slackware's ''lilo.conf'' and can be ignored (however, you can get rid of it by added ''LBA32'' in the Global section of your ''lilo.conf'').
