So I just installed Slackware 12.1 kernel huge-smp.s(or something like that) on my laptop and on my dvd the modules for that kernel are corrupt so they didn't install. I downloaded them from a Slackware repository and installed them using pkgtool, but I don't know what to do next. I rebooted and ran lsmod but it still didn't show any modules.
If the modules still didn't load, and you are sure they installed properly (check /var/log/packages), then you probably installed the wrong module package. The kernel and module packages much match exactly; using the non-SMP modules on a SMP kernel won't work, for instance.
It's understandable that you were not familiar with MD5 checksums at the time. Now that you've heard of them, spending a few minutes looking them up with a search engine/wikipedia/whatever would be a logical next step.
You use them to check whether a download completed successfully or got corrupted.

sorry,sorry, I know, I was very tired at the time.
ignore the last post I made. I didn't really know how to work md5sum, but I figured it out and the download was bad. I got it from a different repository and everything works great.
