I did a Google search on this line from the dmesg output

Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card!
and found this.

Perhaps you could add this as a kernel option when booting the hugesmp.s kernel.

It seems, you may need to download extra driver from VIA in order to get it working.

I think you are on the right track ghostdancer.
After looking further, the VIA VT8237S is certainly supported in the Slackware 12 kernel and is being detected as shown by this line from the dmesg output.
