Get a different distribution. And this time, pay attention to what you do with it. And also, read some documentation before you do anything.

Togmannen: Sounds like it could be a hardware problem. I suggest finding a copy of memtest and run that for a while. If I understand correctly you tried to reinstall and got kernel panic before linux finished loading off your slackware disc? I've never seen that happen before and my geuss is that your culprit is RAM.

dkpw...I wholly agree. As a user who is still learning myself, I try to help when I can and sometimes I need to be corrected by an another more advanced user, which I find helpful itself. I have had these kinds of replies before (thankfully not often.) However, if I haven't got a clue how to help, I just won't post rather than post something totally unhelpful
