Finally the latest stable kernel (2.6.15.4) is running at my Slackware. Thanks to Shilo (whom i met from LinuxQuestions) who has gave me a guidance to install the latest kernel to Slackware system. We only met via email, but his steps was working perfectly (also the warning and error messages).
At first, there were an error related to ALSA and it's exactly what Shilo had told me. I tried to change the permission for /dev/mixer and /dev/dsp but they weren't there. So i recompiled the kernel again (as suggested by Shilo) by customizing processor architechture and also including all ALSA modules. After i reboot, the error messages still exists, but i can hear my audio files again, since the ALSA packages has been loaded. Now, the only problem is when i connect to the network at startup, DHCP is started before the udev daemon started, so it can't write any file to the systems. Next error message was the rc.wireless which should be called from inside rc.inet1. But since i have Centrino-enabled laptop, i didn't need the script again, so i disabled it and the error messages were reduced.
For the next few days, i'm trying to test my new system. Hopefully everything works fine as i expected. Let's enjoy weekend by hacking Slackware.
