I think I'll give up and do a fresh install of 14 and see if that is any better.

Thanks for all comments guys.

You mentioned in your first posting that you're running a fresh install of 13.37, I would therefore recommend to simply delete the 3.xxx kernel-directories in /usr/src and make an upgrade to 14.0 with slackpkg.
Code:

slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg upgrade-all
slackpkg clean-system

should work for you. There are also some notes from Pat

I know you said you have it working. As an FYI, my normal steps after downloading and unpacking a new kernel:

make mrproper
make localmodconfig
make menuconfig
etc.

Alternatively:

make mrproper
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
etc.

Not sure if you're building the kernel as root, from what I've read you really shouldn't have to. make should be run as normal user, only make modules_install should be (has to be) ran as root. Also, not sure if you passing -j #number parallel processes to compile kernel. (dual core or HT CPU?)

No need to go that far.

Just follow the instructions in UPGRADE.TXT that are included in the iso.
