Changelog entry on Sat Sep 9 01:18:53 CDT 2006

....
kernels/huge26.s/*: Fixed USB keyboard support in the installer (at least tested on CD/DVD media). Thanks to Bruce Hill, Jr. for pointing out that this was no longer working. Please note that if you install with this you still need kernel-modules from /extra, and that there's no alsa-driver for this kernel because it's all built into kernel-modules and kernel-headers (well, and the kernel :-). ALSA 1.0.11/12 specifically DO NOT support these newer kernels. Check out the SUPPORTED_KERNELS file in the alsa-driver source. Feel free to play with various combinations (many DO work, but without any noticable improvement to me). I try very hard to not break your sound system, but I'm already bending the rules with alsa-driver-1.0.11_2.4.33.3... Also, if you find bugs in stuff I don't ship, contact the appropriate maintainer too, please. I am not the hg repository for everything I ship. (I know, I do look remarkably similar ;-)
....

I haven't yet installed Slack 11.0, but I hope this can help you.
