they say swaret sucks for updating slack. its better to download current ftp tree make you iso images from it. there's a readme in the isolinux directory that tells you how to make the iso images. a dvd image would be better every thing would fit on a dvd.
I would think of a glibc problem for the cannot execute "/sbin/agetty" as I had
similar experience with a failed glibc upgrade, but I am not sure
The fact that your computer did reboot by itself is weird...
For my part, what I would do is boot from a slackware live CD, mount the hard drive
root partition, copy the libc.so from the cd /lib (the libc.so file, not the symlink) in the
/lib of the mounted root partition (maybe make a backup of the libc.so before) and
redo a symlink if neccessary.
