Slackware 13.1 and KDE on Lenovo with suspend to RAM / swap

Welp, looks like I'm still having issues with waking up from sleep. I have the NVIDIA® Quadro® FX 880M on a Slackware64 system so I used NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.24-pkg2.run to install my drivers. Believe it or not, I had originally used the IA64 version of the drivers thinking IA64 was the same... anyway I am currently using the former and upon putting the system to Sleep in KDE, I can never wake the system up again. Any mouse movement or keystroke should wake the system up from Sleep right? Well on my system doing so did not do anything except reboot my system! Help!

The following is what is logged to pm-suspend.log

SOLVED! Apparently I neglected to switch to the generic kernel after installing Slackware, so I was using the "huge" kernel instead. This meant xhci was compiled into the kernel rather than as a module, so the "fix" for Suspend on this notebook did not work as this module could not be unloaded.

 

That's what I used to do right away was recompile the generic kernel and get rid of Huge....is that kernel still put into the /boot directory during install? One thing I liked about Slackware is it used an unpatched kernel so going to Kernel.org for a new kernel was easy.
