Use the Slackware Live CD to boot the system and at the lilo boot
prompt type

linux nohotplug

When the system boots check your system error messages to see what
module hotplug hung on and list it in /etc/hotplug/blacklist so
hotplug won't try to load it. Then reboot. Repeat until you find all
the modules hotplug is having trouble loading.

Note:laptops often have non standard hardware. Check the online Linux
laptop sites for specific info on your laptop.
