There is not enough information provided in this post to give us a clue. You could read this to see what I mean.

What do you mean it won't install? Do you mean the slackware installation media is not found? Or do you mean that the target (8gb usb) was not found? Or do you mean that it tried to install, but there was a kernel panic on boot?
