Remember, I installed on this computer SUSE 9.3/10.1/10.2, the first two
by DVD, the last by 5 openSuSE CDs, Slackware 11/Slackware 12 were
installed by 3 CD's. The Slax Distribution 5.1.8 Live CD starts without
problems. Only Slax 6.0RC4 and Slax 6.0RC5 showed this problem. Thus I
discussed it first on the Slax forum with main developer Tomas. Finally
I came here. After analyzing I can only suspect a combination of
isolinux.bin and kernel 2.6.21.5 guilty. This very kernel boots
perfectly by Grub from disk! 

Liebe Gruesse zurueck,

Peter
