No.  The BL2 zimage is a slim kernel designed to work 
on old PCs with limited RAM.  It lacks some capabilites.  
I suggest you replace the default zimage with the bare.i
bzimage in Slackware 7.1.  It is in the /kernels directory.
You will also need to edit boot.bat (with a DOS editor)
to change zimage to bzimage.

Good idea.  The config file for the BL2 zimage is at
the BasicLinux site.  Here is an excerpt:
-------------------------
# Sound
#
# CONFIG_SOUND is not set
-------------------------
