Slackware/Slackware is the right choice.

root[Downloads]# uname -a.
uname: invalid option -- '.'
Try `uname --help' for more information.

So, you installed the non-smp kernel. You need the smp kernel, unless you have a Pentium 1 or 486 CPU, which I'm guessing you don't. I'm very interested on how you managed to do that, since you really should go out of your way and select the non-smp kernel specifically to get it installed.

Assuming that is the right file you downloaded (my thought was it might not have been, but the real problem seems to have been identified now) ... I leave you in the capable hands of the Salix Wizards. Good luck!
