Hi all,

I successfully upgraded to slackware 12.1 and have also rebuilt the 2.6.24.5 kernel. I now have this running fine on my machine, and as a back up I also have an entry in lilo.conf for the huge-2.6.24.5-smp kernel.

In my /boot folder i have all the 2.6.24.5 kernels (the huge and generic ones plus my custom one) but I also have my custom-2.6.21.5 kernel from slackware 12.

Am I best to keep this custom 2.6.21.5 kernel around or is it completely redundant now and can be deleted along with the modules and source directory?

Well it sounds like you used the config from your 2.6.21.5 kernel to build you 2.6.24.5 kernel. If this is true and your new kernel appears to be working fine then I don't see why you would want your old 2.6.21.5 source, modules, System.map, or vmlinuz kernel image. I would suggest that you keep the old config handy, however.
