This is from my experience working with [http://www.slamd64.com Slamd64], and will probably grow<br />
as people ask more things.<br />

==Adding a new kernel to the disk==<br />
Firstly, copy the kernels/bare.i/config to .config in your kernel source directory. You then need<br />
to configure your kernel as appropriate, and build it. Once you've done this, go to the kernels/ subdirectory of the tree, and make a new directory for your kernel, then run these commands:<br />
<br />
cd /usr/src/linux<br />
cp .config /path/to/slackware/tree/kernels/$KERNELNAME/config<br />
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /path/to/slackware/tree/kernels/$KERNELNAME/bzImage<br />
gzip -9 System.map<br />
cp System.map.gz /path/to/slackware/tree/kernels/$KERNELNAME/System.map.gz<br />
<br />
You then need to add a new section to the isolinux/isolinux.cfg file for the kernel,<br />
for example, if $KERNELNAME = 3ware.s (from Slamd64):<br />
<br />
label 3ware.s<br />
kernel /kernels/3ware.s/bzImage<br />
append initrd=initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=11719 rw root=/dev/ram SLACK_KERNEL=3ware.s11</div>Erik
