These are kernel packages for Slackware64 14.2 I compiled from source. All are patched with aufs and I changed nothing in the configs except adding support for aufs in the Generic kernel 4.4.172 source from Slackware.
The Xanmod kernels are reputed to be superior to most and have a lot of support for newer devices and are low-latency.

All these kernels need a initrd to boot from a hard drive installation!

You need to use the mkinitrd command like this example, which is for /dev/sda1 and kernel version xanmod 5.0.8-xanmod5
Best to use /usr/share/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh

mkinitrd -c -k 5.0.8-xanmod5 -f ext4 -r /dev/sda1 -m usb-storage:ums-realtek:ehci-hcd:ehci-pci:uhci-hcd:jbd2:mbcache:ext4 -u -o /boot/initrd.gz

If you're booting more than one kernel you can rename the initrd.gz, for example initrdx5.gz

mkinitrd -c -k 5.0.8-xanmod5 -f ext4 -r /dev/sda1 -m usb-storage:ums-realtek:ehci-hcd:ehci-pci:uhci-hcd:jbd2:mbcache:ext4 -u -o /boot/initrdx5.gz

If you're remastering one of the Slacker isos you dont need to make a initrd just edit /root/Tomas-M-linux-live-d27460d/config and or build for the new kernel.
So, if youre booted off the default Slacker generic 4.4.172l kernel and you wanna install the xanmod 5.0.8 kernel and modules and remaster your distro- just install the kernel and modules and edit the config file in /root/Tomas-M-linux-live-d27460d for new kernel

here is part of the config script-

# Kernel file, will be copied to your Live Kit
# Your kernel must support aufs and squashfs. Debian Jessie's kernel is ready
# out of the box.
VMLINUZ=/boot/vmlinuz

# Kernel version. Change it to "3.2.28" for example, if you are building
# Live Kit with a different kernel than the one you are actually running
#KERNEL=$(uname -r)
KERNEL=5.0.8-xanmod5

And then run the build script.
