This post is for Zeb, whom I just met at the ALE Central meeting
tonight.  Zeb has Slackware on a PIII box running a 2.4.x kernel, and is
having trouble with a 2.6.10 kernel he is trying to compile.  I am
really a Debian PowerPC person, so I don't know the story on Slackware
kernel packaging, etc.  However I recommended starting with the default
kernel configuration for his architecture that comes with the kernel
tarball.  I was surprised to find only one sample kernel config for i386:

/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/defconfig

whereas with PowerPC, we have a host of them:

$ ls -x -w 63 /usr/src/linux/arch/ppc/configs/
adir_defconfig      ads8272_defconfig    apus_defconfig
ash_defconfig       beech_defconfig      bseip_defconfig
bubinga_defconfig   cedar_defconfig      common_defconfig
cpci405_defconfig   ebony_defconfig      ep405_defconfig
est8260_defconfig   ev64260_defconfig    FADS_defconfig
gemini_defconfig    ibmchrp_defconfig    IVMS8_defconfig
k2_defconfig        lite5200_defconfig   lopec_defconfig
mbx_defconfig       mcpn765_defconfig    menf1_defconfig
mvme5100_defconfig  oak_defconfig        ocotea_defconfig
pcore_defconfig     pmac_defconfig       power3_defconfig
pplus_defconfig     prpmc750_defconfig   prpmc800_defconfig
rainier_defconfig   redwood5_defconfig   redwood6_defconfig
redwood_defconfig   rpx8260_defconfig    rpxcllf_defconfig
rpxlite_defconfig   sandpoint_defconfig  SM850_defconfig
SPD823TS_defconfig  spruce_defconfig     sycamore_defconfig
TQM823L_defconfig   TQM8260_defconfig    TQM850L_defconfig
TQM860L_defconfig   walnut_defconfig

He could start with that one, but if anyone has suggestions for a 2.6.10
kernel for Slackware (version?) running on a PIII with 256MB RAM, I am
sure it would be much appreciated
