Kernel packages - question about availability


This is just a quick question - not a help-me! Yay!

Does anybody know of a source of kernel slackpkgs?

What I mean by this is a site with .tgzs for kernels - kind of like the stock slackware kernels but with certain specific tweaks. So there'd be a tgz for the normal SCSI kernel plus bootsplash, or normal bareacpi with the right settings for ATI drivers etc.

I'm kinda clutching at straws, since I've done a thorough search and turned up nothing, but you can't discount individual knowledge of unknown small-scale sites.


(I'll readily admit that I am asking this because I am tired of reinstalling. Somehow my (MANY, MANY) kernel tinkerings prevent me from even booting my old kernels. I suppose some people are just destined to fail at certain things...)

There are some kernels in slackware ftp site but most of them 2.4 series kernels
I send an email to slackware support that there must be much more kernel choises, but they dont return me!
Then I decided to learn compiling the kernel , after 4 or 5 unsuccessful try I have a 2.6.13 kernel with true settings for my laptop
