"What version i must put?"

As a general rule the new kernel will work OK as long as it as new or newer than your old kernel. I recommend you download the latest kernel from:

www.kernel.org

"Where i must start reading?"

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/

is a good place to start.

In the Slackware subforum there is a Kernel Compiling Guide. It works fine for most distros. You may want to read that too.

google perhaps??

people are more likely to help you if you show some sort of evidence that youve tried to find what your looking for we're not a bunch of spoonfeeders.

here it doesn't get much easier than this
i have placed an explanation for each step making this tutorial very detailed, so if you follow this step by step, it will be kinda hard for you to fail your kernel recompile.
