I have Slackware in /dev/hdb5 and PCLinuxOS in /dev/hdb6.
I had installed Arch 0.7.2 in /dev/hdb7
I am using lilo of slackware as boot manager and added the following lines:
" image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=Arch
root=/dev/hdb7
read-only"
and ran lilo. All the distros were added succesfully.
When I booted Arch from Slackware, I get the following error msg:
" FATAL: kernel too old
Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init"
and the system hangs.
I have already upgraded my system using pacman , so I do not want to install it afresh.
Please guide me.

i think you should try grub, its a lot easier for a multiple linux OS system.
As you have written it, your kernel you are specifying as the image for Arch, isn't actually the arch kernel (its the slackware one, hence the kernel panic). You will find that the arch kernel is actually:
/boot/vmlinuz26
To do this easily with lilo however you best try and use a shared /boot partition, otherwise lilo can't get proper access to the kernel images of the other distros. (So i think)

But how I could load Pclinuxos and puppy but not arch?
lilo complains on /boot/vmlinuz26 as "nos uch file or directory"
though i have it on /dev/hdb7/boot
