I have Slackware 10.0, and I want to run the 2.6 kernel to support my intel pro/wireless 2200.

I compiled the 2.6.9 kernel and set it on boot. I configured lilo.conf with the appropriate changes and ran lilo after making them. When I boot the kernel, the screen goes blank. This is my first time compiling a kernel Any ideas?

Does the original also provide this kind of problems?
If reverting back to the original solves the issue, it could be some scripting error.

When you installed slack did you add the option for a frame buffer console?
If so, support for frame buffer consoles will need to be compiled into the kernel.

I compiled a 2.6 kernel and forgot to add frame buffer support and had a similar problem. I fixed it by booting back in to the 2.4 kernel and commenting out the Code: VGA = <number> in my lilo config, recompiled the kernel and I was up and running again.

You can find frame buffer console at-> Device Drivers --> Graphics support --> Support for frame buffer devices

I also learned it is easier to find things in the 2.6.9 kernel. typing '/' which allows you to search through the entire file.

I got a similar issue once.
If not solved already, try and boot giving the boot manager the instruction "acpi=off". It worked for me
