Kernel 265 problems btw..
WMD:
1. You should only enable things you need. That's the whole purpose of compiling the kernel. ;)
2. For 2.6, there's a new package called "module-init-tools" that you need for modules to load with a 2.6 kernel. So, you might want to build everything you need into the kernel image.
3. Kernel 2.6 requires that you reformat your swap partition. That's why your system is so slow. ;)
I suggest you try to get things working (if slowly) first, before you do that.

btw i followed your steps, and the same shit happens. no intenet, problems, 640x480 rezolution, and so on. i think i need to do such kind of kernell configuration before compiling, but actualy i dont know what to do in there, so many unknown words btw i think everything should be ok by default so i changed nothing. (heard that ppl uncheck some shit and make kernell smaller, until 1MB)
btw looks like my gkrellm will not monitor CPU temp/FAN speeds, and i will stick with 2.4.20 again ;(

No you didn't follow any steps.
Before insulting people, just try it.

He should ask.
He's acting plain stupid.

That's how a default 2.6 kernel works.

His system is slow cause he didn't configure his own kernel.

btw i think (and i said) that i am not experienced to do that kernel shit. But of couse that was not bad practise, learned some about kernel kompling, lilo and some more serious shit, that kernel image names "bzImage" , lol. Btw i though ar first that linux kernel is some kind of vmlinuz (5MB size), so i put this file in /boot/ do with lilo, lol then i load PC, it prompts that kernel image is too big ;) that was funny btw..

I think we need to start spelling it that way. :D
Anyways, it might be good to download the latest 2.4 kernel (I think it's .26) and compile/install that. It's easier than an upgrade to 2.6, and your system will probably speed up due to the kernel being smaller. I ran Slackware 9.1 on a custom kernel of 937k, as opposed to the default 1.2mb (that didn't support all my hardware). So that could help
Oh, and I just wanna say, good for you trying an advanced distro like Slackware first. You're brave, and all that stuff you learn will really help later on. I did the same.
