This most likely explains why you don't get any modules loaded. It is also
a reason for X not beaing usable, even though it might not be the only
reason.

What output do you get from:

ls -al /boot
cat /etc/lilo.conf
cat /etc/slackware-version
cat /proc/version

During installation, did you do a default automatic lilo install or try
some custom lilo configuration? My guess is that lilo is booting your
Slackware 12.0 kernel from the Slackware 12.0 partition (do you still have
that partition?) but uses your Slackware 13.0 root partition. If we are
lucky, this wrong kernel is the only thing screwed up with your 13.0
installation.

Wait 5 minutes??? Are you hoping the vacuum tubes will cool down?
Just how old is your computer? :-)
