how to create my own slackware install DVD with my own kernel


Hi,I'm trying to install Slackware 64 on a raid 0 fakeraid, I found out that I need kernel support for that. Dm raid. What I did was, I made a virtual machine with no raid compiled the kernel and created a new iso
file wich included in the /kernels folder my own kernel too. I burned the image but on boot I got the "image checksum error..."

I got confused by all the stuff I've read about linux booting.

I need a simple guide how to make a custom made Slackware iso to boot. How do I generate new checksums, how should I write the iso file to make it work?
