   Somehow you have configured your bootloader to load a kernel, or maybe   
   even to select between different kernels. I am not familiar with grub,   
   but my guess is that some configuration file points to a vmlinuz-huge-*   
   or vmlinuz-generic-*   
      
   If you are unable to find how you configured your boot loader there is   
   still a trick to check:   
      
   cat /proc/config.gz | gzip -d - | grep EXT4_FS   
      
   if CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y you have a huge kernel on Slackware 15.0, with a   
   generic kernel it is instead "m".
