Yes, slackware 9.0 works fine with 2.6. In fact I'm running 2.6.0-test2-mm2 right now. There are just a couple things you need. Most importantly, you need module-init-tools, which replaces the modutils used in 2.4. Follow the instructions closely so you can keep your old modutils too. You can get them from www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules. Secondly, I'm not sure if this is necessary but you may want to grab the new procps package from the slackware-current tree. It's got a lower version number, I guess it's a separate fork of procps that works better with 2.6. It still works with 2.4 also. A good read before starting is www.codemonkey.org.uk/post-halloween-2.5.txt hth.
