I found this URL rather complete and quite acurrate. The only thing
outdated may be is the NFS swap patch, use one from Linux Mamma is more
more up to date. Also the bootmenu could be replaced with MGL.

I think you have put the newly compiled kernel on test/trail, to
make sure it really work. May be you have an incomplete root file
system, but usually there are error messages which point to the
problems. Check the /etc/inittab and you can put a line like: 
echo "Starting /etc/inittab..." in first line of rc.S (slackware) 
and on every other scripts to give some indications of how scripts 
are running.
