Hurrah!
It's irritating to a lot of new users, but reading the kernel help for

Glad you got it working. And you've got the latest and greatest, so you've earned big 'ol bragging rights.
Go...! Be an Linux-using Slackware geek with the latest kernel running perfectly! Annoy your XP-using friends and family with your hard-won success (just don't tell them about the "hard-won" part)! That's how we party 'round here!
