First of all, thanks for your helpfulness. Well, i did a kernel
compilation few times already, but i decided it's not how i wanna spend
my time. Do you think it might help if I downloaded and installed the
newer (2.6.16.9) kernel from some Slackware mirror? Moreover, you say
lots of people have problems with initrd. Then has someone bothered to
compile an enriched kernel and post it somewhere? I hope this isn't
contrary to Slack's philosophy...
