Thereis another sort of problem. You should upgrade not just kernel, but
your slackware too, because of a.out format of binaries. Your slackware is
fully a.out, but today, a.out seems to be dead, so you have to ugrade to
fully elf system. So, get RedHat 3.0.3, 3.0.4, or 4.0 (better choice), and
get kernel 2.0.24. 2.1.* is experimental..
