just get hold of a 2.6 kernel package for slackware and install it.
Kernel packages co-habit as everything is under
/lib/modules/<kernel-version> or /boot/bzImage-<version> etc.

Then add your new kernel to /etc/lilo.conf, re-run lilo and reboot,
selecting your new 2.6 kernel from the menu. If it all goes pear shaped,
reboot into 2.4.

if you can't find a 2.6 kernel package (or packages, I forget, as I
haven't used slackware for a good while) just compile your own and
create the package.

HTH,

Ben.
