Sorry I can't help you but I have almost an identical set up.
I compiled it last night (with gcc2.4.5) and:
  3:38pm  up 21:11,  4 users,  load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00
It's running like a dream.

Im running an alpha pl13r (I think) - it's been running fine for several
days. I used GCC 2.4.5 to compile. I have heard that GCC 2.5.5 should be
used as that fixes one "kernel" bug... 

Have you tried undoing the changes to the config... 256 consoles sounds
excessive (are you refering to the virtual consoles?)

Did you install OVER the old source or in an own directory tree?
I had no problems in compiling. Maybe try the new gcc (I think 2.5.?), can be
found on the Slackware CC1/2 disks.

What the hell do you need 256 consoles(!) for!? Wow, you must have an x-large
keyboard.

Shaking my head,
