..2 guesses: 1; these symlinks might be dead for the slackware 
side, try put copies there instead of the symlinks.  2; grub
and linux syntax is different, e.g. (hd0,0) and /dev/sda1, in 
the old days (hd0,0) was /dev/hda1 for ide disks, has Slackware
caught up with the rest of us on /dev/sda1 for (hd0,0)?
