It's too late for me to be up but I see one descrepancy perhaps. This is
my /etc/lilo.conf with /boot on RAID1:

root@slackware:/# egrep -v "(^#|^ *$)" /etc/lilo.conf
raid-extra-boot = mbr-only
boot = /dev/md0
compact # faster, but won't work on all systems.
  bitmap = /boot/slack.bmp
  bmp-colors = 255,0,255,0,255,0
  bmp-table = 60,6,1,16
  bmp-timer = 65,27,0,255
append="panic=10 nomce vt.default_utf8=1"
prompt
timeout = 50
vga = 773
image = /boot/vmlinuz
  initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
  root = /dev/system/root
  label = Slackware
  read-only

You also need an initrd with / on LVM.
