You can try editing the /etc/hotplug/hotplug.functions and uncomment the li= ne # DEBUG=3Dyes; export DEBUG so you can at least see in which part or on which module it's blocking. and= if=20 it's a kernel problem. P.S. I don't use slackware from a lot of time, but I thing that you can loo= k=20 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=20 debian (I hope to have time to dig in them and send them splitted to this=20 list, so also the gentoo's and other distro users can use them).
