You can try editing the /etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions and uncomment the line
# DEBUG=yes; export DEBUG
so you can at least see in which part or on which module it's blocking. and if
it's a kernel problem.
P.S. I don't use slackware from a lot of time, but I thing that you can look
if you are using the latest hotplug (20040923) or install it.
If this don't work you can also try to apply the patches that you can find in
debian (I hope to have time to dig in them and send them splitted to this
list, so also the gentoo's and other distro users can use them).
Bye!
